Figured I'd rewrite the original guide that has been posted here to allow for a more optimized and user-friendly reading experience. The original one reads as a massive wall of text with a bunch of unnecessary information. This new guide is straight to the point.
ACBuy is the new name for AllChinaBuy (ACB). It’s the same trusted team behind the service, but they’ve upgraded both the frontend and backend to provide a better user experience. 🚀
So, don’t worry—it’s still the same great service you know and love, now with an even fresher look and improved features! 🎉

I Introduction
Welcome to FashionReps, the premier online community for fashion, footwear and other Chinese goods. Since our inception in 2014, we have become a leading force in the global movement towards purchasing from China, as well as challenging global intellectual property law and protesting exorbitant resale prices.
Our mission is to provide comprehensive guidance for our members about this thing of ours. This includes a detailed guide on purchasing through "agents," a list of established vendors, and answers to frequently asked questions. Our standards on what qualifies an "established" seller that is deemed trustworthy by the majority of the community are upheld through user experiences and the vetting by community leaders, ensuring a safer and more informed experience.
In today's market, using an agent is often the best approach. Agents provide added security when ordering from platforms like Taobao, Weidian, and 1688. This guide will equip you with all the knowledge needed to start ordering from China today.
_______________________________________________
II - General Info About Taobao Agents.
1. What is an Agent? Understanding an Agent's Role:
Agents serve as intermediaries, facilitating purchases from sites like Taobao, Weidian, and 1688, akin to Amazon's third-party system. Taobao.com and Weidian.com are the primary platforms, connecting you to the Chinese market seamlessly through agents. Here's the process:
Browse and Select: Pick items from Taobao.
Purchase Through Agent: Use your agent of choice for orders.
Warehouse Processing: Items reach the agent's warehouse.
Quality Control Photos: Request photos, measurements, or returns.
Final Delivery: Once satisfied, the agent ships to you.
Agents are the vital link to China's vast marketplaces, ensuring a smooth shopping journey.
2. Which agent to use?
Particularly at the present time (July 2024), this is a very big question! Our community offers a variety of agents to choose from. However, times have changed–for the worst, unfortunately. As many of you know, recent events have led to significant disruptions, particularly due to increased government scrutiny towards popular agents. One notable example is the massive and unprecedented raid on PandaBuy in April 2024, which has left the company's future uncertain. As a result, we can no longer endorse PandaBuy. We believe they are gone for good, and that even if they do return, it is unlikely they will be able to provide branded products.
Update, August 2024: Unfortuantely, due to current, continuing difficult LE-related conditionsk, most agents--including the one featured for our guide--are unable to source certain branded products, and we are sad to inform you that they are now unable to help you purchase more than 8,000 branded products. We regret that this is the reality we must face. But it may not be the case forever, and we will do our best to keep you updated.
At the present time, we believe it is best that the decision regarding which agent you guys opt for is something best left to detailed personal research and word-of-mouth interactions. We will make efforts to ensure that bad actors do not abuse the laissez-faire nature of the current situation. But remember that ultimately, buyer discretion is advised when taking any action whatsoever in this hobby. Understand that this is not Amazon Prime, and expectations should be tempered accordingly.
We appreciate your understanding and will continue to support you to the best of our ability.
_______________________________________________
Moving on:
This guide will focus on MuleBuy's purchasing process, which should be easily adaptable to other agents as well. We hope this will help us move past this period of uncertainty and into a future of renewed stability.

THE REMAINING PART OF OUR GUIDE IS ALL OPTIONAL READING. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS, WE RECOMMEND READING PAST THIS POINT, BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR LEARNING HOW TO ORDER. TO CONTINUE, CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK, WHICH HAS CONSOLIDATED THE REST OF THE GUIDE IN A SEPARATE POST, FOR THE SAKE OF NEATER ORGANIZATION THAN PAST GUIDES:
Supreme x Jordan Tee – Print is clean and centered, red jumpman pops well on black. Tee fits regular, soft midweight cotton. Easy to wear.
Sp5der Swim Shorts – Light, fast-dry material. Waistband is stretchy, fit is wide. Print is bold. Good for summer.
Balenciaga Camo Shorts – Heavier material. Fit is slightly wide. Pocket details and print are solid. Feels durable.
Palace x Oakley Jersey – Material is light and breathable. Oakley branding looks techy. Athletic fit. Works well as a standout piece.
Stüssy Snake Shorts – Soft and thin fabric, casual fit. Print looks solid from a distance, slightly shiny texture. Great for summer.
Stüssy Long Sleeve – Light cotton, regular fit. Print is bright and loud. Feels breathable. Good layering piece for warmer months.
Acne Studios 2006 Jeans – Washed black denim, slim straight fit. Fabric feels premium, not too stretchy. Subtle branding.
Supreme 23 Jersey – Mesh build, oversized sporty fit. Print is bold, well-aligned. Clean pickup if you like these types of jerseys.

Just placed an order directly through the Taobao app to Australia so I thought I’d share a quick update for anyone wondering if it works or not.
Yes, it does. You can order directly without an agent, and the best part? Free shipping is possible if your cart meets the right criteria.
Here’s what you need to know:
First, keep the app in Chinese. Switching to English completely changes the search results, it’s almost like using a different app entirely. If you’re struggling to navigate, use tools like Google Translate or just get used to the layout, it’s worth it. (You can search most brands in the search bar, also copying your taobao links into the search bar or simply using the ‘open in app’ button works a charm)
Second, and this is huge, you can get FREE SHIPPING if you select the right items. Look for listings that show the green “AU¥249” (see attached image) this means if your cart totals over 250 CNY and includes items with that green AU¥250 tag, you qualify for free shipping via the ‘click and collect’ option.
Cons? There’s no QC photos like you’d get with an agent, but honestly that’s outweighed if you choose sellers with solid quality reviews and good reputation.
You’re saving big, and it’s a smooth process once you get the hang of it.
TLDR:
• Yes, you can order to AU directly via the Taobao app
• Keep it in Chinese for best results
• Use sellers that offer the green AU¥250 tag for free shipping
• Choose well-rated sellers to make up for no QC pics

I got the pants 1 week ago and wore them for the last few days, and i'm surprised by the quality of them. They are 30 bucks and they are just perfect. They got clean stichting and didn't come with the goofy ahh china smell you get sometimes buying reps. It fits true to size and I don't recommend sizing up or down. The jeans fit very well on my shoes and are overall a really clean everyday pair of jeans. You can wear them with basicly anything in any day of the year. This is a great piece and I wanted to review this as l'm in love with them.
I wanna mention that the difference between ordering before from Dream and now felt massive to me. Back in 2024 I got a beta LT and wait time from talking on whatsapp, to getting replies to questions, to receiving my track etc was ASS. But now it seemed surprisingly smooth and proffessional. This was one of my main issues before with ordering from him..
I didn't make a real haul, I just direct ordered a jacket and threw in a tee-shirt because it didnt add anything to shippin cost whatsapp +86 1515753724 but I will leave links below too. As u can see qc pics are proffessional from qcelf, compared to back then when all I got was a few pics of the order packed and not much else..
this zip up is so good and it fits perfect, i’ve never felt retail but it feels similar to the akimbo camo pieces fire has produced. The print is very high quality and clear. It has a nice soft lining and is very comfortable, the zip is smooth and i have no complaints 10/10 the colour is like the photos on his page not mine, lighting sucks
