About ACBuy
ACBuy is a cross-border buying agent that helps overseas shoppers buy from China, covering the full chain from purchasing and quality inspection to international logistics and after-sales. It runs in two modes — purchasing agent and parcel forwarding — and defaults to English and USD. According to Similarweb, ACBuy draws around 1.9 million monthly visits, and its traffic is unusually balanced: the United States is the largest market at just ~16%, followed by Canada, the United Kingdom, Poland and Germany, with no single country dominating. A bounce rate around 24% and ~9 pages per visit point to a sticky, engaged user base.ACBuy's standout trait is reach. It officially supports more Chinese sources than almost any competitor — Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688, Pinduoduo and Vipshop for free, plus paid sourcing from social-commerce platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and second-hand platforms like Xianyu. Standard-platform orders carry no agent commission; special platforms add a flat 10 CNY per item. ACBuy also offers the broadest local-payment support we have cataloged: alongside cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, it accepts iDEAL, BLIK, Pix, EPS, Bancontact, Skrill and Trustly — matching its global user base across 8 interface languages and 10 currencies.
Items are inspected with 3–5 free QC photos and stored free for 90 days, with paid extension available. For peace of mind, ACBuy's branded AC Care service insures against shipping delay, loss or damage, and customs seizure, paying out up to 10,000 CNY (7,000 for goods plus 3,000 for shipping). A 7-tier VIP program gives up to 6% off international shipping, stackable with coupons. Note that Weidian and Yupoo rep purchasing is no longer supported, and that order placement has been reported suspended since May 2026 for a warehouse upgrade, with resumption unconfirmed in the information we hold. Confirm the platform's current status, live fees and warehouse close-out terms on acbuy.com before you top up a balance.

Is ACBuy legit?
We don't take payment to rank agents. This assessment is based on public data and our own ordering checks, not a sponsorship.

What US buyers should check before shipping
Two cost layers sit on top of the freight quote. The first is ACBuy's exchange-rate markup, reported at about 17.6% over the interbank rate, which raises your effective item cost. The second is import duty: the former US low-value parcel exemption for China-origin shipments has been withdrawn, so parcels that once cleared duty-free now need a duty budget. Confirm both before you commit to a consolidated haul.
Platform status and what it means for your warehouse balance
If you already have goods stored, ask support in writing for the return and forwarding window, the storage position during the suspension, and how any unused balance is handled. If you are starting fresh, confirm that ordering, QC and shipping are all live before topping up, and keep a record of the support conversation.
How to use ACBuy
- Step 1 — Pick an ACBuy spreadsheet
Community ACBuy spreadsheets circulate on Reddit rep communities and dedicated ACBuy sharing sites. Click any row to open ACBuy's product page. Taobao, Tmall, JD and 1688 links load automatically, while Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Xianyu use ACBuy's special-platform or DIY order flow. Weidian and Yupoo rep links are no longer supported.
- Step 2 — Place the order and pay
ACBuy auto-extracts about 99% of product details from Taobao/Tmall/1688 links. Choose color, size and quantity, then pay. ACBuy uses a top-up model: you load your balance first, then buy from it. Payment options include international cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, iDEAL, BLIK, Pix, EPS, Bancontact, Skrill and Trustly.
- Step 3 — QC, storage and insurance
Goods arrive at ACBuy's warehouse for inspection and 3–5 free QC photos, then 90 days of free storage (extendable to a 180-day cap). Before shipping you can add AC Care insurance — covering delay, loss or damage and customs seizure up to 10,000 CNY — and reinforced packaging.
- Step 4 — Consolidate and ship out
Consolidate items from one or more spreadsheets into a single parcel and choose from 150+ shipping lines. Shipping is paid as a deposit against estimated weight and refunded if you overpay. The 7-tier VIP program takes up to 6% off international shipping, and discounts stack with coupons.
Shopping-agent guide
Using ACBuy follows the standard agent workflow: pick a product link, pay for the item, approve the warehouse QC photos, then consolidate and ship.Start with a community ACBuy spreadsheet — the lists circulate on Reddit rep communities and on dedicated ACBuy sharing sites. Clicking a row opens the product page inside ACBuy. Taobao, Tmall, JD and 1688 links load automatically, and ACBuy auto-extracts roughly 99% of product details from Taobao/Tmall/1688 URLs. Weidian and Yupoo links do not work for rep purchasing any more; Douyin, Xiaohongshu and Xianyu orders run through ACBuy's special-platform or DIY order flow and cost a flat 10 CNY per item.
Select color, size and quantity, then pay. ACBuy uses a top-up model, so you load your balance first and buy from it — factor in the exchange-rate markup of roughly 17.6% over the interbank rate when you calculate your true cost. Payment options are unusually broad: international cards including Discover, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus iDEAL, BLIK, Pix, EPS, Bancontact, Skrill and Trustly.
Goods land at the warehouse for inspection and 3–5 free QC photos, followed by 90 days of free storage (extendable to a 180-day cap). Review the photos carefully and raise any issue before shipping, because returning an item after it leaves China is far more expensive. Before dispatch you can add AC Care insurance, which covers shipping delay, loss or damage and customs seizure up to 10,000 CNY, and choose reinforced packaging.
Finally, consolidate items from one or more spreadsheets into a single parcel and select from 150+ shipping lines. Shipping is paid as a deposit against estimated weight and refunded if you overpay. The 7-tier VIP program takes up to 6% off international shipping and stacks with coupons. US buyers should also budget for import duties: the former low-value parcel exemption for China-origin shipments has been withdrawn, so the freight quote is not the final landed cost.
Cautions: verify ACBuy's live status before funding an account, since order placement has been reported suspended since May 2026 for a warehouse upgrade, and confirm refund and close-out terms for anything already in the warehouse.
