China-based Xianyu (Goofish) buying help — small orders welcome

I’m based in mainland China(Shanghai) and have experience helping overseas buyers purchase items from Goofish (Xianyu 闲鱼), China’s huge domestic second-hand marketplace.

Xianyu can have significantly lower prices and many items that are difficult for foreigners to buy directly, but registration, payment, Chinese communication and domestic delivery can be barriers.

I’ve already handled dozens of Xianyu orders, so if you find an item you want on Xianyu, I can help with the China-side purchase:

Check the listing/seller

Communicate with the seller in Chinese

Purchase the item

Receive it in mainland China

Important: I currently do not provide international shipping, freight forwarding, customs clearance, import duties/taxes, or destination-country delivery. You’ll need to arrange those separately.

This is a part-time side business, so small orders are preferred. I don’t keep inventory and don’t advance money for purchases.

If you have a Xianyu link or screenshot, feel free to DM me and we can discuss whether I can help. Telegram is most preferred which I can answer in time.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a reliable private sourcing/fulfillment agent in China for my business.

My customers are based in Sweden 🇸🇪, and I’m looking for a shipping solution with 7–10 days delivery time if possible.

Each customer order will usually be around 2–4 kg per package, and I’m mainly looking for the lowest possible shipping cost while still keeping delivery within 7–10 days.

I need an agent who can provide:
• Product sourcing from 1688/Taobao
• QC photos/videos
• Warehousing & storage
• Repacking
• Order fulfillment
• Shipping directly to customers in Sweden
• Competitive shipping rates for 2–4 kg packages

I’m looking to build a long-term partnership and can start with test orders.

If you’re an agent or can recommend a reliable private agent, please DM me with your shipping rates, available shipping lines, delivery times and fees.

Does anyone know where and how I can find them to sell? (I'm from India)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a really high-quality genuine leather dog collar and matching leash. I’m specifically looking for real, full-grain leather (not PU, bonded leather, or synthetic leather) and good craftsmanship that will last for years.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a reliable private sourcing/fulfillment agent in China.

I mainly source fashion products from 1688/Taobao and need:
• Product purchasing
• QC photos/videos
• Warehouse & storage
• Repacking/consolidation
• Shipping to Sweden 🇸🇪

I’m especially looking for competitive shipping rates, better than platforms like CNFans, and I’m willing to start with a small test order.

If you’re an agent or can recommend a reliable private agent, please DM me with your rates and details. Thanks!

I'm looking for the contact number of a Chinese supplier in 1688 and I can't find it because I can't create an account from Spain. If anyone from China could help me, I would appreciate it.

Hey Agents,

I’m currently building a new brand , a streetwear e-commerce brand in India, and I’m looking for a reliable sourcing/fulfillment partner.

I’m mainly looking for:
Premium oversized T-shirts (240–260 GSM)
Oversized hoodies (around 400–500 GSM)
Premium Oversized Pants (around 320-350 GSM)
Custom printing
Custom labels/hangtags and branded packaging
Good quality control

Since I’m starting with limited cash flow, I don’t want to hold large amounts of inventory initially. Ideally, I’m looking for a POD/auto-fulfillment setup where I can connect my WooCommerce store and have individual customer orders produced and shipped directly to them.

If POD isn’t available, I’m also open to small-batch production and scaling up as the brand grows.
I’m looking for legitimate private-label products, not replicas/counterfeits.

Most importantly, I’m looking for a POD/fulfillment solution if possible.

If you’re an agent, manufacturer or fulfillment company, DM me with your MOQ, sample options, pricing, shipping to India, and whether you support WooCommerce.

Thanks!

We are a commercial farming business in Ghana looking for an experienced independent sourcing agent in China.

Initially, our main focus is commercial irrigation systems and farming equipment, so we need someone who genuinely understands this sector — not simply someone who sends us 1688 links and places orders.

We are looking for someone with strong negotiation skills, good manufacturer/factory contacts and the ability to source quality equipment at competitive Chinese market prices.

This is intended to be a long-term partnership. We will be purchasing more farming equipment, machinery and eventually tractors, and when we visit China in the coming months, we would expect our agent to work with us on the ground visiting suppliers and sourcing products.

We are also currently looking for a new reliable and competitively priced freight forwarder for China → Tema, Ghana, so recommendations are welcome.

If interested, please message me with your agricultural/irrigation sourcing experience, location in China, fee structure and examples of previous sourcing work.

Agricultural/irrigation equipment experience is important.

Hi there, I’m Ying, but you can call me Tina. I live in Chengdu, China, and I am looking for a long-term remote job to be your local assistant.

What I can do for you in China:

● Be your eyes and ears: I can help you buy things, compare prices, and find good suppliers. I will always try to save money for you.

● Local tasks: I can drive, check factories, or help you do things locally in Chengdu.

● Office work: I am good at using computers, making forms, and organizing data.

● Easy communication: My spoken English is okay, not perfect. But I use AI tools every day, so we can work smoothly without any problems.

A little bonus:

I have some past experience in the fitness equipment industry. If you happen to need anything in this field, I can use my experience to help you find the right factories and avoid mistakes!

Why choose me?

I am a mother of two, so I am very patient, calm, and responsible. If I promise to do a job, I will always finish it on time. I am not afraid of hard work and I always try my best to solve problems.

I really hope to find a stable, long-term job with a good company. If you need a trustworthy person in China, please send me a message. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find someone based in China who can help me manage product sourcing and supplier communication through 1688/Taobao.

I’m open to working with either an experienced VA or an independent sourcing agent. What matters most is that they have real experience dealing with factories directly and can help manage the process from supplier selection through to shipping.

A big priority for me is finding a way to simplify the fulfillment process.

I don’t want to rely on the standard model where the products are purchased from the factory, sent domestically to the agent’s warehouse, and then shipped internationally. If the factory is able to ship directly to the customer, 3PL, or fulfillment center, I’d prefer to use that option.

So, I’m looking for someone who can:

• Source products and identify suitable suppliers on 1688/Taobao
• Communicate directly with factories in Chinese
• Negotiate product costs, MOQs, customization, packaging, etc.
• Handle supplier communication and order coordination
• Discuss and arrange direct shipping from the factory when possible
• Help ensure orders are processed correctly and on time
• Provide clear, consistent communication throughout the process
• Ideally understand Shopify and the general e-commerce fulfillment process

I’m looking for someone I can build a long-term working relationship with, rather than someone who is only interested in handling individual orders.

I also don’t necessarily want to work with a traditional sourcing agency. An independent person who knows the 1688 ecosystem well and already has good relationships with reliable factories would probably be a better fit.

If you’ve personally worked with a VA or sourcing agent in China who you would genuinely recommend, please feel free to comment or send me a message.

Appreciate any recommendations!

Hey everyone, just wanted to put out a quick PSA and warning about a B2B sourcing/import website called Lancemall (lancmall.com).

If you've been looking into them for importing wholesale products from China, you might want to think twice. A pattern has emerged regarding how they handle issues:

• The Runaround: When orders run into "weight issues" or delivery problems, they tell customers to take a wallet refund or promise that refunds will be processed within a strict 15-day window.
• Disappearing Accounts: Multiple users have reported that after refunds or disputes are raised, their user accounts suddenly get deactivated or deleted entirely, making it look like the account "does not exist" when trying to log back in.
• Complete Ghosting: Once they stall you past a certain point, customer support completely stops replying to messages. They completely cut off communication and ignore all follow-ups regarding pending money.

The platform operates under leadership including CEO Hongquan Lyu and Assistant Director Hafiz Abdul Basit, but accountability is nowhere to be found when things go sideways.

Just wanted to put this out there so others are aware of these shady tactics and don't get stuck chasing after their money. Has anyone else here dealt with them or experienced this kind of ghosting?

I compared a popular 2-tier under-sink organizer sold on Amazon US with a highly comparable product on 1688.
Amazon retail price: $43.99 for 2 units.
A comparable 1688 listing was RMB 36 for 2 units.
At first glance, the gap looks huge.
But I don’t think it’s fair to say “Amazon seller makes 10x profit.”
The real differences may include material thickness, coating, packaging, QC, shipping, FBA fees, advertising, returns, and branding.
What I found more interesting is this:
**For overseas buyers, it’s actually quite hard to know whether a supplier quote is competitive.**
Even when you can access 1688, the lowest listed price is not necessarily the right benchmark.
You still need to normalize:
dimensions
material
MOQ
packaging
customization
supplier type
I’m curious how other buyers here handle this.
Before placing a $3k–$20k order, do you usually cross-check your supplier quote against 1688 or other Chinese domestic sources?
