About This Site: Why It Exists, How It Checks Things, and How It's Paid For

Why a PandaBuy alternatives site

When PandaBuy was raided on April 11, 2024, it left behind a lot of people with spreadsheets full of links that no longer opened, balances they couldn't reach, and no clear idea where to go next. Two years on, the questions haven't gone away. People still search for PandaBuy itself, for PandaBuy spreadsheets and for 'the new PandaBuy', and much of what they find is either out of date or written to push one agent.

This site tries to answer those questions plainly. The status page and raid timeline cover what happened. The agent pages compare each alternative with what PandaBuy offered and say whether it is still open. The link converter rescues old PandaBuy rows, and the finds sheets give you current listings that don't depend on any one agent.

How agents and facts are checked

At every update we run the same checks, on the same day, for every agent on the status board:

1. The agent's own website: does it load, accept a pasted link or show a working catalogue, and carry any notice?
2. Independent trackers, mainly rep.tools, KakoGuide and CNBuyPilot, for closures, fees and storage terms.
3. Trustpilot: score, review count, date of the newest review and the pattern of complaints.
4. Published terms: fee tables, storage and return rules, shipping-line descriptions.

For PandaBuy's history we rely on court records and reporting with dates: the New York case 1:24-cv-02668, The Fashion Law, Managing IP (which we flag as a brand-side account), Know Your Meme's timeline and Wikipedia. Where a claim rests on a single source, such as the April 2026 verdict, we say so. At the latest check 23 agents were open, 3 were flagged and 4 were offline or closed.

Verdict: Every figure on this site has a named source on its page or is calculated on the page from stated inputs.

How 600 listings became 532 finds

Old PandaBuy sheets were full of rows nobody had looked at for years, so the finds here start from a fresh pull instead: 600 listings sampled from repbuysheet.com, whose catalogue holds 10,000+ items. Each one went through the filters below, and anything that failed was dropped rather than patched up:

Counts produced by the cleaning script and re-checked at build time; the build fails if they stop adding up.

Two limits worth knowing. The pictures are what each seller uploaded, so they show the listing rather than the piece an agent will photograph for you. And the yuan prices were read on the check date; sellers reprice often. Every find is a Weidian listing that any open agent can buy, and nothing is sold on this site.

How the site is paid for

PandaBuy users learned the hard way what happens when a recommendation comes with a referral code attached, so here is exactly where the money comes from. The finds tiles are labelled Sponsored and point to repbuysheet.com. Separately, readers can message us on WhatsApp and have us buy and ship an item, which is a paid service. Neither depends on which agent you choose: no agent pays us, none has a referral link here, and the status colours are set by the four published checks alone.

Nothing you type into the link converter, duty calculator or size charts leaves your device. The privacy notice lists the small amount of data hosting and WhatsApp involve.

Corrections and contact

The fastest-moving facts on this site are agent statuses, and PandaBuy's own collapse showed how little warning there can be. A reader with a parcel stuck at an agent usually knows before any tracker does. If an agent's checkout has stopped working, a fee has crept up, or a find now opens a different item, send it over; once it's confirmed, the page changes at the next update.
