Does GTBuy charge an agent fee?

GTBuy charges no agent fee on standard platforms — Taobao, Tmall, 1688 and Weidian. Your cost is the item plus domestic shipping, with a ¥10–30 customs declaration and ¥8 warehouse-handling fee bundled into international shipping. Its margin comes from the exchange rate rather than a fee. Special platforms such as Xianyu carry a ¥10-per-order fee, currently waived.

What payment methods does GTBuy accept?

GTBuy accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, PayPal, Apple Pay and Skrill, plus European local methods — iDEAL, BLIK, EPS and Bancontact. It settles in USD, EUR, GBP and other major currencies, with 3D Secure on all card transactions.

How many QC photos does GTBuy provide?

GTBuy runs a standard inspection of external condition and accessories when your item reaches the warehouse. Note that electronics, brand branded items, sealed CDs and collectible figures are checked externally only — they are not opened or powered on — so internal quality cannot be verified.

How long does GTBuy store items?

GTBuy stores items free for 90 days from the stocked status, with no paid extension. If you do not submit a shipping order within 90 days, the items are treated as abandoned and destroyed without a second notice, so ship in good time.

How much is shipping with GTBuy?

Shipping runs through USPS and UPS lines, with coupon discounts applied. A 1 kg parcel to the United States runs about $52.21 after coupon on the cheapest USPS line, with 8–12 business-day delivery and tax-free commercial clearance. Bulky items are billed on volumetric weight (length×width×height ÷ 8000).

Which platforms can I buy from with GTBuy?

GTBuy supports Taobao, Tmall, 1688 and Weidian, with special platforms like Xianyu also available. On its product links the Weidian channel opens Weidian items directly, so Weidian-based finds spreadsheets consolidate cleanly into one parcel.

GTBuy is a cross-border shopping agent that helps overseas shoppers buy from Taobao, Tmall, 1688 and Weidian. You paste a product link, GTBuy buys it into its China warehouse, and consolidates your items into one international parcel — so a single GTBuy spreadsheet routes Weidian, Taobao and 1688 links into one checkout. It also runs an in-house mall and a points programme. GTBuy charges no agent fee on standard platforms (Taobao, Tmall, 1688 and Weidian): your item cost is the price plus domestic shipping to its warehouse, and international shipping bundles a ¥10–30 customs declaration and an ¥8 warehouse-handling fee. Its margin comes mainly from the exchange rate, which carries a markup over mid-market, so compare the all-in total. Special platforms such as Xianyu carry a ¥10-per-order fee, currently waived. Purchased items get 90 days of free storage from the stocked date, with no paid extension — items left past 90 days without a shipping order are treated as abandoned. International shipping covers USPS and UPS lines with coupon discounts; a 1 kg parcel to the United States runs about $52.21 after coupon on the cheapest USPS line (8–12 business days, tax-free commercial clearance). GTBuy stands out on payments for European buyers: alongside Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners, PayPal, Apple Pay and Skrill, it accepts iDEAL, BLIK, EPS and Bancontact.
