What is Fansbuy?
Fansbuy is a China shopping agent (a "buying agent" or daigou) that purchases products from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, then inspects, stores and ships them worldwide.
Fansbuy is a China shopping agent (daigou): it buys items you pick from Chinese marketplaces, then inspects, warehouses and ships them to you internationally.
- Buys from Taobao, Tmall, 1688, JD and Weidian in one account
- Review item photographs before overseas shipping; up to 90 days free storage
- You pay the product price, China-domestic shipping and the international line you choose
- You discover what to buy on the Fansbuy Spreadsheet, then order through the agent
Fansbuy brings purchasing, warehouse inspection and international forwarding into one account. You handle the choosing; Fansbuy handles the buying, the warehouse and the international logistics.
How a shopping agent works
Chinese platforms like Taobao, 1688, Weidian and JD rarely ship abroad or accept foreign cards. A shopping agent bridges that gap: it buys the item domestically, receives it at its warehouse, checks it, and forwards it to you — often consolidating several orders into one parcel to cut shipping.
What Fansbuy does for you
- Procurement across Taobao, Tmall, 1688, JD and Weidian
- Inspection with item photos and optional custom photography or video
- Warehousing with up to 90 days free storage
- International shipping with multiple lines and parcel insurance
What does it cost?
For orders placed through supported shopping platforms, Fansbuy does not add a separate agent service fee — your cost is the product price, China-domestic shipping, and the international shipping you choose. Real-time exchange rates and multiple payment methods (including PayPal and balance top-up) keep checkout transparent. See Payment & Top-Up and Shipping & Logistics for details.
When Fansbuy fits your shopping plan
A shopping agent can be useful when you want to combine purchases from different China sellers, review warehouse photos before export and choose your own parcel route. Plan for the time between buying the product and paying for international shipping.
Check fit measurements and the seller return policy before purchase. Use the warehouse photo stage to catch a wrong variant or visible problem, and decide whether custom photographs, measurements or rehearsal packing would help. These services have different scopes and charges.
Costs to check at each stage
| Stage | What to review | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Product order | Seller price, China-domestic shipping, payment channel and any selected extras | Product payment |
| Warehouse | Inspection photos, optional detailed services and each item’s storage deadline | Inspection & storage |
| Parcel submission | Route quote, packed weight and dimensions, declaration, packaging and optional insurance | Shipping methods |
| Destination delivery | Carrier requests and destination import charges under the chosen arrangement | Import information |
Where does the Fansbuy Spreadsheet fit in?
The agent is great once you know what to buy. The Fansbuy Spreadsheet solves the discovery half — a curated, searchable catalog of finds with product images and listing details, hosted on w2cspreadsheet.com. Find it on the spreadsheet, then buy it through the agent.
