Agent Comparison

This table covers the six most-used purchasing agents for rep buyers in 2026. Data verified April 2026 — fee structures and policies change, so verify before committing to large hauls.

The 0% vs tiered fee debate only matters in concrete numbers. Here is what the difference actually costs at common order values.

The agent comparison table evaluates purchasing agents across the dimensions that matter most for rep buyers: service fee structure, QC photo quality and quantity, free warehouse storage duration, English language support quality, and overall community reputation. Each dimension affects your total experience differently depending on your buying frequency and item focus.

Service fees are tiered for most agents and the actual percentage you pay depends on your order value. High-value orders above ¥2000 benefit most from low-fee agents. For smaller orders, the differences between agents narrow. Free storage duration matters significantly for buyers who consolidate shipments over weeks — Pandabuy's 180-day storage is a substantial advantage for buyers who prefer to hold items and ship in bulk.

QC photo quality is increasingly important as community standards have risen. The current expectation is multi-angle, high-resolution QC sets that allow buyers to make confident accept or reject decisions without needing to request additional photos. Agents that deliver this as standard rather than paid extra significantly reduce the per-order friction in the buying process.

For first-time buyers, the clearest recommendation is Superbuy. The combination of English interface, free QC photos, 90-day storage, and the most comprehensive English-language community documentation makes it the lowest-friction starting point. The learning curve of purchasing agent use is real, and starting with the most documented option reduces the cost of that learning curve significantly.

For experienced buyers who have already established an agent workflow and are optimising costs, the comparison becomes more nuanced. Pandabuy offers the best combination of fee efficiency and QC quality for rep-focused buyers. The 180-day free storage is particularly valuable for buyers who plan large consolidated hauls rather than frequent small shipments.
