If you have just heard about Oopbuy and want to start shopping replicas, designer-style products or factory goods from China, this guide walks you through the entire process. We cover account setup, picking products from the best Oopbuy spreadsheet, placing an order, QC, and shipping — written specifically for first-time buyers.
What is Oopbuy and how does the agent model work?
Oopbuy is a reverse-shopping (also called daigou) agent that buys products on your behalf from Chinese platforms such as Taobao, Weidian and 1688. You pick the link, the agent buys it, stores it in their warehouse, lets you inspect the QC photos, and finally combines and ships everything to your country. The whole flow only works smoothly once you understand which sellers to trust — that is exactly what a curated Oopbuy sheet is for.
Step 1 — Register an account
Your first stop is creating a free account. We recommend signing up through this Oopbuy register link because new accounts created with the invite code receive first-order coupons and shipping discounts that are not visible on the public homepage.
Step 2 — Pick a product from the best Oopbuy spreadsheet
Brand-new buyers should never paste random Taobao links. Instead, open the curated Oopbuy spreadsheet at fcsheet.com and pick from sellers that have already been tested by experienced reverse-shoppers. Each row gives you the product type, the seller link, a fair price range and example QC photos.
If you have no idea where to start, our walkthrough on the best Oopbuy spreadsheet picks ranks the most reliable sellers for shoes, bags and clothing.
Step 3 — Place the order on Oopbuy
- Copy the product link from the spreadsheet.
- Paste it into the Oopbuy search bar.
- Pick the right colour, size and any variation.
- Add it to the cart and pay with PayPal, card or crypto.
Oopbuy will buy the item the same day in most cases. You will see the order status flip from Purchasing to Stored in warehouse as soon as the seller delivers it.
Step 4 — Inspect the QC photos
Every parcel that arrives at Oopbuy’s warehouse is photographed for free. You then approve or reject each item. If you are unsure whether the product matches the spreadsheet reference, use the Oopbuy QC finder workflow — search the QC by SKU and compare it side by side with hundreds of past buyers’ QC. The result is the closest thing to handling the item yourself.
Step 5 — Combine ship and pay shipping
Once everything in your warehouse is approved, you submit a shipping request. Oopbuy weighs the combined parcel, suggests the right shipping lines for your country and gives you a final shipping price. New users should read our complete shipping guide before this step — picking the right line can cut your shipping bill in half.
