Honest answers, no fluff.

A middleman service that buys items from Chinese marketplaces on your behalf, holds them in a warehouse, photographs them for your approval, then reships internationally. Without one, most of these listings won't accept a foreign card or address.

Different agents charge different commission, ship cheaper to different regions, and run different promos. Listing nine means you can compare a 5-euro shipping difference instead of guessing which one's currently best. Set your default once, every link rewrites to it.

Right now, USFans for EU shipping (40-percent first-order promo, cheapest dedicated line), Acbuy for North America (fast QC, slightly higher commission but fewer reshipping headaches). These numbers move — check our shipping estimator for the live picture.

Mostly grey. In most countries, owning a counterfeit for personal use is legal; selling or importing in commercial quantity is not. Customs occasionally seizes packages flagged as infringing. Declare honestly, don't import a hundred of the same item, and you'll be fine. We're not lawyers; talk to one if your country worries you.

We don't. Every item in the catalog is scraped from a real shop on Weidian or Taobao with live prices and live stock. QC is per-batch, per-order — the agent photographs your specific unit when it arrives at the warehouse. Use the QC lookup tool to see community photos of past orders for the same item.

Three usual suspects: the item sold out and got removed; the seller renamed the listing (different ID, same product); Weidian has rate-limited our scraper. Try the same shop's other listings, or search the product name on the agent's own search.

Same parent ecosystem, different rooms. Weidian is small WeChat-merchant style, where most rep sellers cluster. Taobao is the consumer marketplace. 1688 is bulk/wholesale — you pay less but the seller might insist on a minimum quantity. Tmall is the brand-storefront side and has the least reps.

CNY is yuan, the Chinese currency. One CNY is roughly €0.13 / $0.14 as of late May 2026 (live rates fluctuate). Every price on the site auto-converts to whichever currency you pick from the top-right menu, including GBP, JPY, HKD.

Cheapest sea lines from China to EU: 30-45 days. Air lines: 8-15 days. Express (DHL, FedEx): 4-8 days but flagged for customs more often. Add 5-10 days on top for the seller to deliver to the agent's warehouse plus your QC window.

Sometimes. EU dropped the de-minimis threshold so anything over €150 declared value pays VAT plus a small handling fee. Agents will sometimes under-declare on your request, which is on you, not us. Lower-value items mostly slip through.

Before it ships out of the warehouse, yes — reject the QC and the agent will send it back to the seller for a refund (minus the seller's domestic shipping, usually 5-12 yuan). After it ships internationally, no return path exists. Open a dispute with the agent if the item arrived materially different from QC.

Yes. When you click an agent link from here, our referral code is appended. It doesn't change the price you pay; the agent funds it from their margin. If you'd prefer to skip that, copy the bare item ID and paste it on the agent's own site.

Dark is the default because reps shoppers tend to browse at night and the photos read better on darker chrome. We don't have a light-theme toggle yet; it's on the roadmap if enough people ask in Discord.

We scrape a curated list of Weidian shops directly. No middle-API, no proxied data — the prices you see are the prices the seller has live right now. The current shop list includes GOAT, Top Jersey, EVGA, the Evil collection, and a few jersey + bag specialists.

There isn't one. Candorluma is a static catalog. Favorites, recently-viewed, preferences all live in your browser's localStorage, so the site stays usable without you handing over an email.
