1688 Buying Agent for Overseas Buyers

SinoSeekers helps overseas buyers purchase from sellers on 1688. Share your product links and requirements; we coordinate seller questions, an agreed purchase, receiving, basic checks, and shipping arrangements. Initial review is free, with fees confirmed before procurement.

What our 1688 buying service covers

• Reviewing supplied listings, variants, quantities, and seller availability.
• Communicating questions about specifications, minimum orders, samples, and packaging.
• Preparing a written cost breakdown for your approval.
• Coordinating the authorized purchase after agreed payment.
• Receiving goods and providing the agreed basic quantity or visible-condition checks.
• Reviewing repacking, consolidation, and international delivery options.

SinoSeekers is an independent buying service, not 1688 or an official representative of the platform.

How to place a 1688 purchase request

1. Send the links. Include the product URL, selected variants, quantity per variant, and any image references.
2. Confirm the seller details. We ask about stock, minimum quantities, specifications, sample availability, and known order conditions.
3. Review your quote. Check products, service fee, domestic delivery, handling, and any shipping estimate. Approve the scope before payment.
4. Purchase and receive. We coordinate the approved order and agreed receiving checks. Unavailable items or visible discrepancies are referred back to you.
5. Approve delivery. Confirm packing and final available shipping costs before dispatch.

Minimum order quantities and samples

The seller determines minimum quantities and available price tiers. A listing price does not necessarily apply to your selected quantity or variant. We confirm the applicable terms for the request. Samples can be requested where offered, with product and delivery costs quoted before purchase. We cannot guarantee that a seller will reduce a minimum order.

Payment and purchasing arrangements

You receive written payment instructions with the agreed quotation. The quotation states the currency, payment method, amounts due, and payment stages. Do not send account passwords, payment-card details, or verification codes through our inquiry form. You approve the purchase; we do not substitute another item or seller without agreement.

Can purchases from different 1688 sellers be combined?

We review multi-seller requests for coordinated receiving and consolidation. Each seller may have separate domestic delivery charges and arrival times. Combining goods depends on compatibility, packaging, protection, and carrier restrictions. Tell us which original boxes or labels must be retained, and do not send goods to an address without prior approval.

Product checks and return limits

Photo checks document observable details under the agreed scope; they do not guarantee authenticity, safety, material composition, or the absence of hidden defects. Independent inspection or laboratory testing needs a separate arrangement. Returns and cancellation depend on the seller's terms, order stage, custom work, and recoverable costs. Read our shipping and returns information before approving procurement.

Shipping from China to your destination

Provide the destination country and postal code, and flag batteries, liquids, fragile goods, branded products, or other handling requirements. We review product eligibility and available routes before accepting the purchase. Final shipping options depend on packed measurements and the selected service. Import taxes and destination charges are included only when expressly stated in the quote.

What to send us

For each link, include the variant, quantity, specifications, acceptable alternatives, and destination. Add your budget and desired delivery date if relevant. If you need help finding a supplier rather than buying from an existing listing, use our China sourcing agent service.
