Payment in yuan

We pay the supplier directly in CNY at the domestic Chinese rate — no double conversion or payment-system fees.

Seller verification

We analyse the seller's rating, transaction history and marketplace reviews before paying — filtering out scammers before your money moves.

Negotiation in Chinese

Our managers in China negotiate prices, samples and terms — in Chinese, which typically wins a 3–7% discount.

Full cycle

Purchase → domestic delivery within China → consolidation → international shipping → customs clearance. One contract.

Frequently asked questions: buying agent in china

How is 1688 different from Alibaba?
1688.com is China's domestic wholesale marketplace with prices 20–40% lower than on Alibaba, but it operates only in Chinese and doesn't ship abroad. That's exactly why you need an agent with a yuan account and a warehouse in China. Alibaba is export-oriented: English interface, higher prices, larger minimum orders.
What guarantees do I have against fraud?
We verify the seller before payment (rating, store age, transaction volume) and inspect the goods at our warehouse before they ship to Ukraine. If the goods arrive defective or wrong, we open a dispute on the marketplace from our Chinese account — the chances of a refund are far higher.
Can I order samples before a large batch?
Yes, we always recommend starting with samples. We purchase 1–2 units, send detailed photos/videos from the warehouse, or ship the sample to Ukraine by air.
