GoatedBuy advertises no service fee on the commodities you buy, meaning it doesn't add a per-item commission on the seller's price. You still pay the product price, a small China domestic shipping leg, and international shipping. So it's cheaper than agents that charge a percentage per order, but it is not free overall.
It's shorthand for using a spreadsheet-style product index (like W2CSpreadsheet) to discover finds, then handing those links to the GoatedBuy agent to buy and ship. The spreadsheet is the discovery layer; GoatedBuy is the buying and logistics layer.
GoatedBuy references Taobao, 1688, Weidian, Tmall and Xianyu (second-hand). You paste a product link from one of these, or search by keyword, and GoatedBuy places the order for you.
Based on GoatedBuy's current wording, new-user coupons apply to shipping fees and some can be combined with international shipping — not taken off the item price. Always confirm the exact terms and expiry on the official site.
QC (quality check) photos show the actual item at the warehouse — colour, obvious defects, size tags, print placement. They cannot verify hidden things like true fabric weight, smell, or long-term durability, and they are not an authenticity guarantee.
International shipping is priced by weight, volume (dimensions) and the route/carrier you choose after your items reach the warehouse. Consolidating multiple buys into one parcel usually lowers the total. Exact rates change — use GoatedBuy's own calculator.
GoatedBuy offers a free storage window plus a paid storage-extension service. The exact number of free days changes over time, so check the current policy on the official site before you plan a long consolidation window.
Possibly. Import duties, taxes and handling are set by your own country and are the buyer's responsibility. GoatedBuy's shipping fee does not include your local customs charges.
No. This is an independent guide to help beginners understand the workflow. For accounts, payments, official policies and support, use the official GoatedBuy website.
Treat each find on its own merits. Check seller ratings where possible, read measurements, and use QC photos before you ship. A spreadsheet listing is a starting point, not a guarantee of stock or quality.
