Shop Longer, Buy Smarter!

What is LoongBuy and how does reverse purchasing work?

LoongBuy is a shopping agent that helps international buyers purchase products from Chinese marketplaces such as Taobao, Weidian, 1688 and Xianyu. Many of those stores do not ship abroad, do not accept foreign cards and are written entirely in Chinese. A shopping agent solves all three problems: it buys the item on your behalf, receives it at a warehouse in China, checks it and ships it to you internationally.

This model is often called reverse purchasing or proxy buying. Instead of a store sending products out to the world, you bring the store to you through the agent. The big advantage is price and choice: you get access to millions of factory-direct products at local Chinese prices, and you can combine items from many different sellers into one parcel to save on shipping.

The difficult part is finding good products. Marketplace search results are huge and quality varies. That is exactly why the LoongBuy spreadsheet exists: a short, curated list of items that are popular, well reviewed and easy to buy, each with a direct LoongBuy link.

Why use a LoongBuy spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet turns a confusing search into a simple shopping list. Every product in our LoongBuy spreadsheet includes:

• A real product photo, so you know exactly what you are looking at.
• The item price in USD, so you can plan your budget before you add shipping.
• Sizing advice written for international buyers, with tips on when to size up or down.
• A QC checklist that tells you what to look for in the warehouse photos.
• A LoongBuy link that opens the product page directly so you can pick your size and colour.

We keep the list short on purpose. Ten great products with honest notes are more useful than a thousand random links. Bookmark the LoongBuy spreadsheet page; we update it regularly.
