How to use an agent

When you see "use an agent" it means utilizing an e-commerce platform like Superbuy, HooBuy, CSSBuy, or Basetao to purchase from links you find on Taobao, Weidian, or Yupoo. An agent will order the goods for you, ship to their local facility, and hold the goods until you are ready to ship to your address, where you will then pay for international shipping. Remember, you pay twice. Follow the guide below.

Both of these guides will work for any other agent as every agent works the same way.

Agent Pros:

• More versatile. You can buy anything you would like (not just shoes).
• Provides access to both low and high tier shoes to fit your budget ($-$$$).
• Can create large packages (a.k.a "hauls) and ship many items at once.
• Using the PandaBuy app, you can easily search for your desired product.

Agent Cons:

• Shipping fees and hidden costs may add up. Agents can be said to "nickel & dime" you.
• Processing times are typically slower.
• Many links may end up being out of stock, which delays the process.
• PayPal recharge fees and unfavorable exchange rates.
