Frequently asked questions about hipobuy
Which platforms can I shop on through Hipobuy?
Hipobuy displays sales and purchase links from Taobao, 1688 and Weidian and acts as a shopping agent — Hipobuy does not sell goods itself. You can also paste Cnfans spreadsheets or product links directly into Hipobuy for instant access to the same items.
How do the new-user coupons work?
New users receive a ¥30 product coupon for identical items shopped via Cnfans links, plus an exclusive 30% off no-minimum international shipping coupon. Shipping coupons are visible under Wallet → Coupon, and one shipping coupon can be applied per parcel at submission.
What is the Rehearsal Parcel service?
Rehearsal Parcel is a ¥20 per parcel value-added service: submit your warehouse items as a Rehearsal Parcel, pay the ¥20 fee, and the warehouse completes the rehearsal within 24 hours. You then view the actual packed shipping result on the [Rehearsal Parcel] page and click [Confirm] to pay the international shipping fee based on the rehearsal result.
How do Combined Payment Rules work?
Gold coins and balance cannot be used together, but you can combine gold coins with PayPal or International Credit Card. The primary channel shown at the top of the combined payment page deducts after the gold coin or balance portion. If the third-party channel times out or fails, frozen funds are automatically refunded to your account within 24 hours.
How does Cnfans forwarding integration work?
Submit your parcel at the original warehouse (e.g. Cnfans), set the delivery address to the Hipobuy Xiamen warehouse, pay the initial shipping fee, then contact Hipobuy customer service for a full refund once the parcel arrives — Hipobuy covers 100% of the domestic shipping fee for parcels forwarded from Cnfans and other platforms.
How do custom QC photos work?
Hipobuy provides a standard 3-angle inspection photo set on inbound parcels. If you need photos of specific parts, measurements, or extra angles, you can order custom-angle photos at ¥1.00 per photo through the order details page.
Why is PayPal sometimes unavailable, and what about Klarna?
PayPal has daily transaction limits set by PayPal itself — if PayPal is not visible at checkout, the daily quota has been reached and the channel is automatically hidden until it reopens at 00:00 Beijing Time (CST). Klarna is temporarily unavailable platform-wide pending an update from the payment partner; please choose an alternative payment method in the meantime.
How do withdrawals and the Affiliate System work?
The Hipobuy Affiliate System has five promoter levels (V1–V5) with parcel-bonus rates from 4% to 8% once a referred parcel is successfully delivered. Withdrawals process twice per month within 1–3 working days; you can apply for a Refund Voucher under Wallet → Withdrawal → Apply for Refund Voucher against historical recharge records (PayPal, Credit Card, Klarna, etc.).

If you need photos of specific parts, measurements or extra angles for sizing or authentication, custom-angle photos are available at ¥1.00 per photo. Shipping fees on the warehouse page are calculated on estimated weight as a prepaid amount; the final shipping fee uses chargeable weight after the parcel is fully packed.
