Purchasing assistance

1688 buying agent for your next purchase

Found materials or supplies on 1688 and need help turning the listing into an order? Send us the product links and intended quantities. We help define the purchase, clarify supplier questions and agree the handover to receiving before you commit to the batch.

  1. Define the exact item

    Record the listing link, selected variant, dimensions, material and quantity for each line. Include a screenshot when options are unclear. We use this brief to discuss supplier availability, minimum order quantities and unresolved specifications.

  2. Decide on samples

    Tell us what a sample must help you decide, such as size, finish or assembly fit. Agree the sample scope and costs first. Record your approval or required changes before discussing a larger purchase.

  3. Approve the purchase

    Review the itemized quote and confirmed order details. Agree payment arrangements, the acceptable substitution rule and who approves changes. A supplier price or variant change needs a fresh decision before that item proceeds.

  4. Plan the receiving handover

    Match supplier dispatch details to the order record. Agree any receiving checks and the action for shortages, visible damage or a wrong variant. Decide separately whether the goods need consolidation, repacking or onward delivery.

Know what your quote includes

Ask for goods, supplier delivery within China, purchasing assistance and any agreed sample or checking work to be listed separately. Packing, international transport and destination charges need their own scope. We confirm charges for your request; a listing price alone cannot establish the delivered cost.

Set the check before the order

A parcel count, a visual review and a functional test answer different questions. Tell us what needs checking so we can agree feasibility, method and cost. Receiving goods does not establish product safety, authenticity or suitability for your selling channel. Keep required documentation and specialist checks in your plan.

Use EtsyCollege’s sample acceptance checks to describe what needs checking before we agree the method and scope.

Keep decisions attached to the product

Use one row per variant and keep supplier replies with it. For example, approve the colour and size of a sample before ordering 100 pieces. Record whether that quantity means individual pieces, pairs or packs. This gives the purchase and receiving teams the same reference.

For orders from several suppliers, prepare the consolidation and shipment details alongside the purchase references so receiving and dispatch can be planned together.

FAQ

Services, costs & practical details

Can I start with a small order?

Send the quantities you need. Supplier minimums, variant rules and sample availability must be confirmed for the selected item. We can discuss the workable scope once those details are known.

What if the received goods differ from the order?

Agree how discrepancies will be recorded and reported. Supplier return or replacement terms, deadlines and transport costs need confirmation for that purchase. Your decision on the affected goods comes before their onward dispatch.

Does buying through an agent make a product eligible for Etsy?

The buying method does not determine eligibility. Check the actual product, your creative role and the applicable marketplace rules before purchasing stock for an Etsy shop.
