Sourcing & Ordering Guide
The basic steps from finding a product on Weidian or Taobao to getting it into your warehouse.
1. Buying the Item
Since you can't buy directly from Chinese sellers, GTBuy buys it for you.
Find the item
Find what you want on Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 and copy the link. Don't know where to start? Check our Known Seller List to find community-shared shops.
Paste Link
Paste the link into GTBuy's search bar. It will translate the page so you can see the item.
Add to Cart
Select your size and color. Add the item to your cart and pay.
2. Warehouse & QC
Once paid, GTBuy agents will purchase the item from the seller and wait for it to arrive.<
Agent Buys Item 1-6h
GTBuy buys the item from the seller. The status will change to "Ordered".
Seller Ships to Warehouse Varies
Shipping time depends entirely on the seller. The status will change to "Shipped".
QC Photos Crucial
When the parcel arrives, the status changes to "Received". Once the staff takes your 3-5 photos, it becomes "Stored". Check these carefully to ensure you got the right size and that there are no flaws.
Asian sizing normally runs 1-2 sizes small. Pay the tiny fee to request an "Extra Photo" of the GTBuy agent physically measuring the chest width (pit-to-pit) or shoe insole with a ruler. Compare it to your clothes at home to ensure it actually fits!
Accept (GL) or Return (RL)
In community slang, GL (Green Light) means it looks good, leave it in the warehouse (90 days free).
RL (Red Light) means there's a flaw. Return it using the return button directly on the site, or contact support on Discord or via the website helpdesk. Note: Refunds go back to your GTBuy wallet, not straight to your card.
Ready to Ship?
Once all your items are in the warehouse, you can pack them into a parcel. Make sure to read the shipping guide first so you don't overpay on shipping.
