More about GoatedBuy
How GoatedBuy Works
Copy a product link from a GoatedBuy spreadsheet or from Taobao, 1688, Weidian or Xianyu, paste it into the GoatedBuy search bar, and place your order. GoatedBuy buys each item and has the seller ship it to its China warehouse in Xiamen, where it receives 3-5 free QC photos and is stored free for up to 90 days. When you are ready, consolidate everything into one parcel, choose a shipping line, and GoatedBuy forwards it to your door. The short official walkthrough below shows the whole flow end to end.
Warehouse, QC and 90-Day Free Storage
Once your items reach the Xiamen warehouse, GoatedBuy runs a standard quality check and gives each item 3-5 free QC photos so you can review condition, colour and size before shipping. Every item is then stored free for up to 90 days, with a clear in-warehouse tracker and the option to buy up to 60 extra days of storage, so you can wait for more finds and ship everything together to cut international shipping costs.
Transparent Low Fees and Payment
GoatedBuy is built around a low purchasing-fee model, and the checkout lays out every charge before you pay — the item total, any payment-method handling fee, and international shipping. You can pay from a prepaid balance or with cards, Skrill or PayPal, with automatic currency conversion for non-USD payments. Small operational charges such as a $0.75 return service fee still apply, so review the current fee page before ordering.
