What each door adds to the bill

One line on the invoice moves when the door moves, and it is not the big one. Here is what each door charges, what the payment method takes, and how to price the parcel before you commit to buying the find.

What the door costs

The only line the door controls

Of everything you will pay, the door sets exactly one item: the purchasing service fee. The price of the thing is the seller's, the domestic delivery to the warehouse is the seller's, and the whole international charge is decided later by weight, line and destination, long after the door is behind you. So this page is short on purpose. It prices the six doors and points at the operator's own fee page for the rest; what becomes of the money if the order is cancelled is on the after-you-pay page. help centre fees, 34, read 2026-10-10

Two charges are worth knowing before you choose a door, because neither is on the fee table. Customs declaration runs about CN¥8.00 a parcel, varying with the shipping method. And the payment method itself takes a cut at checkout: the screen in the picture lists a handling fee per method, and paying from your Superbuy balance carries none, which is why topping the balance up once beats paying by card four times.

By door

The service fee each door adds

The operator's table has four rows. Read as doors: the capture door and the 1688 door are the free row; the second-hand door is the CN¥20 row for Xianyu, Zhuanzhuan and Paipai and the 10% row for Kongfz and the rest; the manual-form door is the 10% row; the Expert Sourcing door is the last row, with its CN¥15 prepayment inside the minimum. The forwarding door has no row because nothing is purchased; you pay the second bill only. help centre 1205, 1445, 1443, read 2026-10-10

Where the find is listedService fee
Taobao, Tmall, 1688, Vipshop, Amazon, Dangdang, Yihaodian, JD.com, Weidian and Yupoofree of charge
Xianyu, Paipai, ZhuanzhuanCN¥20, printed as per DI on the fee table and as per DO in the help article; the two official pages disagree on the unit
Other platforms (Tmall Global, Kongfz, Xiaohongshu, Pinduoduo, Dewu, Douyin, Bilibili and others)10% of the order amount, minimum CN¥10, maximum CN¥20
Expert Sourcing consultation10% of the order amount, minimum CN¥20, maximum CN¥300, including a CN¥15 prepaid consultation fee

The table leaves out two things that change what you pay. The "other platforms" row is capped at CN¥20, so past about CN¥200 of goods that fee stops growing and is effectively a flat CN¥20; the Expert Sourcing row keeps climbing to CN¥300. The Expert Sourcing row is capped at CN¥300 and refunded in full if nothing is found, but not refunded once the item is stocked. The fee page in the picture presents the same four rows as cards.

Estimate

Shopping Enquiry: the second bill before you pay the first

The international charge cannot be worked out from the catalogue card, because the card has no weight on it. Shopping Enquiry is the operator's answer: for CN¥9.9 per item the buyer asks the seller for weight and dimensions, and the warehouse comes back within 24 hours with recommended routes and an estimated international cost, before you buy. If the seller cannot give a weight, the fee is refunded. help centre 1467, read 2026-10-10

For a quicker guess, the operator's shipping calculator takes destination, warehouse, weight, size and item category and lists lines with cost and transit time. The delivery types table in the picture is from the order guide and shows what such a list looks like, with example costs that are not today's prices. Parcels over 10 kg, or many units of one item, are likely to be read as commercial at customs. help centre freight, 26, read 2026-10-10

Calculator

The shipping calculator, as the operator lays it out

Destination, warehouse, weight, size and item category, then a list of lines filtered by sort order, shipping service, import fees and shipping time. It is the tool to run again after a rate adjustment, which the updates page tracks: three of the six most recent announcements were rate changes on named lines, counted from the operator's announcements page on help centre freight, read 2026-10-10.

Exchange rate

The charge that applies at every door at once

Here is the part the door cannot protect you from. Every door prices in CN¥, and your card does not. The conversion happens on the whole CN¥ total, so it lands on the item, on the seller's domestic delivery and on the door's own fee together, which means a free door is not a free order. Your account can show CN¥ or US$, everything converts from the CN¥ figure, and if you pick the non-CN¥ display then only your balance and MasterCard remain as payment methods. A cancelled order comes back at the rate in force when you paid, so a refund rarely matches the number you remember. help centre 1102, 1206, read 2026-10-10

Scale: only two agents in that whole set charge a service fee on the standard platforms at all, so a headline of zero fee separates almost nobody; what varies is the exchange rate each agent applies when it converts your CNY total, and that gap over the mid-market rate is where the margin sits. In a comparison of 34 agents dated 2026-10-02, this operator's rate sat +8.6% above the mid-market rate, meaning the rate banks quote each other and the one a currency converter shows you. It charges nothing to buy on the standard platforms, so that figure is also its all-in cost. Across the whole set, all-in ran from +0.4% to +18.1%, and on a CN¥2,000 order the distance between the two ends is worth more than every service fee on this page added together. Four of the others, same comparison:

  • CSSBuy: +0.4% on the rate but a 6% service fee on top, so +6.4% all in, the only fee-charging agent on this list, 90 days free storage
  • Eastmallbuy: +9.7%, all of it the rate, no service fee, 90 days free storage
  • Kakobuy: +8.5%, all of it the rate, no service fee, 100 days free storage
  • Sugargoo: +0.4%, all of it the rate, no service fee, 100 days free storage

A markup is one day's reading and will have moved by the time you get here, which is why the date travels with it. Published terms such as a free storage period move far less. Weigh the two against the order actually in front of you: on a small, fast order the door's fee decides it, and on a large one the rate does.
