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.

Straight answer

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
  • Free quality-inspection photos before you ship; 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

Founded in 2015 under a simple "for fans, by fans" idea, Fansbuy has grown into a one-stop cross-border service used by over a million shoppers. 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
  • Quality inspection with free product photos (video optional)
  • 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.

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 real photos and reviews, hosted on w2cspreadsheet.com. Find it on the spreadsheet, then buy it through the agent.
