What this site is
OopbuyFindLinks is an independent guide for people who buy from Chinese platforms through shopping agents. It covers how agents work, what they really cost, how to read QC photos, how shipping and customs work in Europe and elsewhere, and which agents were confirmed working on which date. It also shows a monthly-changing selection of finds from a catalogue of more than 10,000 products.
The site is written mainly in English, for buyers in the US, UK and Europe, with a smaller set of German pages for buyers in Germany. It is not run by, paid by or affiliated with Oopbuy or any other agent named on the site.
An independent guide to agents, with dated facts and a finds gallery.
How agent statuses are checked
Agents open, close and have outages more often than most buyers realise. In August 2026 alone, CNFans and ACBuy shut down, Kakobuy had a brief outage and raid reports about Mulebuy spread. So every status on this site carries a date and a type:
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Working | We confirmed the agent was operating on the date shown |
| Operating (agent data / recent reviews) | Listed as operating in our September 2026 data, or recent buyer reviews show orders being delivered |
| Reported / unverified complaint | Problems reported but not confirmed; we say who reported what |
| Shut down / offline | Closure confirmed by the owner, or the site clearly offline |
The full list is on the agent index. If a status looks out of date, the date next to it tells you how old the check is.
Every status has a date and a source; older dates mean check again.
Where the facts come from
- Fees, storage and QC terms come from agents' own published documents and pages where they exist, and from independent agent reviewers where they don't. Each page says which.
- Conflicting numbers are shown as conflicting. Several agents have different fee or storage figures on different sites; we list the range rather than pick one.
- Reviews are summarised from public pages such as Trustpilot and the App Store, with dates. We don't invent quotes or reviewers.
- Customs and tax rules come from official sources such as the European Commission, GOV.UK and Germany's customs authority. When rules change, as the EU's did on 1 July 2026, we update affected pages.
- Test orders: we haven't placed orders for most agent pages, and those pages say so.
We name sources, show conflicts and say what we haven't tested.
How the finds gallery works
The photo grids on many pages are filled from our product catalogue of more than 10,000 items. Each page shows its own selection, which changes automatically every month. Tapping a photo opens a product page with prices, photos and links. Some category pages, such as shoes or budget finds, filter the selection to match the page. The gallery is a browsing aid, not a recommendation of any specific item: judge each item on its own QC photos when it reaches your agent's warehouse.
The gallery helps you browse; your own QC photos decide what you keep.
How the site makes money
Alongside the guides, we offer our own buying service through WhatsApp for readers who would rather not open an agent account: you send a link or screenshot and get a quote with delivery to your country, photos before the item leaves China and tracking. That service is separate from Oopbuy and the other agents described here. Agents don't pay for our guides or our status labels.
Our own WhatsApp buying service funds the site; agents don't pay for coverage.
What we won't publish
- Invented reviews, order counts, testers or first-person test results.
- Unverified rumours presented as fact, whether good or bad for an agent.
- Advice on getting goods past customs. We explain the rules, including that customs can seize goods that infringe trademarks.
- Fixed shipping prices that would go out of date; our calculator uses the prices you enter.
If we can't stand behind a claim, it doesn't go on the page.
How pages are kept up to date
Each page shows a "last updated" date at the top, and agent statuses show their own check dates. Three things change on their own schedules:
- The finds gallery refreshes automatically every month, with a different selection on each page.
- Agent statuses are re-checked when there's news, such as a shutdown, an outage or a cluster of new complaints, and their dates change when we do.
- Rules and fees are corrected across all affected pages when an official source changes. For example, when the EU replaced its €150 duty exemption with a €3-per-item duty on 1 July 2026, we updated every page that mentioned the old rule and linked the European Commission's guidance.
Dates on every page tell you how fresh each fact is.
Who this site is for
The guides are written for people buying for themselves: first-time agent users who want the process explained step by step, regular buyers comparing agents after the 2026 shutdowns, and anyone who has found an item in a spreadsheet and wants to order it safely. If you're new, start with the ordering guide; if you're comparing agents, start with the index of every agent we track.
Corrections and contact
If you spot an error, an outdated status or a broken link, message us on WhatsApp with the page address and what's wrong. We correct mistakes, note significant changes and update the page's "last updated" date. The fastest way to get oriented on the site is the Oopbuy spreadsheet page, followed by how to order from Oopbuy and is Oopbuy legit.
FAQ

No. The site is independent and not affiliated with Oopbuy or any agent named on it.

Each status comes from a dated source: our own check of the agent's site, public status reporting, recent reviews, or agent data compiled in September 2026. The date and type of check appear next to each status.
Do you place test orders?
Not for most pages. Where we haven't placed orders, the page says so and names its sources instead.
