What the agent actually does
You do not need a Chinese payment method or local address for most Taobao / Weidian / 1688 sellers. LoloBuy purchases domestically, receives the parcel, and holds it until you ship.
Service fees, storage windows, photography options, and line rates differ by agent—read LoloBuy’s own fee pages before estimating total cost.
Spreadsheet → agent handoff
Use this site or MaisonLooks to shortlist. Confirm the seller page. Paste into LoloBuy. That is the entire discovery bridge.
Never trust random “cheaper agent” DMs. Bookmark the official LoloBuy domain and ignore unofficial apps.
Safety checklist
Compare declared value rules with your country’s import limits. Review QC before international dispatch. Consolidate when per-kilo math wins.
Streetwear “batches” and sizing slang vary—cross-check charts and leave remarks when something must match a photo.
The three payment legs
Leg 1: item + domestic ship to warehouse. Leg 2: optional storage until you consolidate. Leg 3: international line + insurance/declare choices.
Spreadsheet prices usually show leg 1 only — plan legs 2–3 before you call an item “cheap.”
What agents do that find lists cannot
Purchase on your behalf, intake parcels, shoot QC, hold inventory, combine boxes, and hand off to carriers — with ticket history.
