You place an order using a product link or ID, Ponybuy purchases it from the Chinese marketplace, receives it at its China warehouse, and takes free QC photos. You review the photos, consolidate multiple items into one parcel, and pay international shipping plus duties. Because there is no agent commission, the model stays simple: item cost, freight and customs only.
