The nine open agents for a HooBuy row, side by side
These are the agents with an Open label on this site. Open means the homepage loaded on 26 October 2026 and no credible closure report exists; it does not mean we endorse the agent. In the table, "official" figures come from the agent's own pages read on 6 October 2026, and "3P" marks a third-party figure from 5 October 2026 that we could not confirm on the agent's site.
| Agent | Service fee | Free storage | Photos | Link format | 26 Oct reachability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oopbuy | None (official) | 90 days, +¥10 per 30 days (official) | Count not published | Not checked | Loaded |
| KakoBuy | None, no handling fees (official) | 100 days (official) | Free count not published; custom ¥2 | kakobuy.com/item/details?url=<encoded marketplace link> | Loaded |
| JoyaGoo | 0 commission (3P) | 90 days (3P) | Yes, count not published (3P) | joyagoo.com/product?id=<id>&platform=WEIDIAN (3P) | Bot check |
| Superbuy | None on Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688; second-hand ¥20 or 10% (official) | 90 days, then ¥0.1 per item per day, max 180 (fee page) | 3 free; detailed ¥2 (¥3 in its example) | Not checked | Loaded, EU tax notice |
| LitBuy | Free service (official) | 90 days, max 120 (official) | 3–6 free; custom ¥1 | Not checked | Loaded |
| Sugargoo | No service fee, ¥8 packing per parcel (official) | 100 days (3P) | 7 free (5+2) | sugargoo.com/#/home/productDetail?productLink=<encoded> (3P) | Loaded |
| LoveGoBuy | No service fee, customs about ¥8 (official) | 60 days (3P) | Yes, count not published (3P) | lovegobuy.com/product?id=<id>&shop_type=weidian (3P) | Bot check |
| EastMallBuy | 8% of goods and 8% of shipping (agreement) | 90 days (official) | Yes, count not published (3P) | eastmallbuy.com/index/item/index.html?url=<encoded> (3P) | App shell loaded |
| LoongBuy | "No agent service fee" (3P) | 90 days (3P) | 3–6 (3P) | loongbuy.com/product-details?url=<encoded> (3P) | Cloudflare block page |
For comparison, HooBuy's own pages list free storage of 90 days (extensions ¥10 per Product ID per month), detailed photos at ¥1 each, and fee articles that disagree: no service fee in two articles, 8% of goods and of shipping in the registration agreement. "Not checked" means the figure is not in our notes; a bot check means the site is up but unreadable to us. More agents are on the agent pages hub.
Six agents state no service fee on their own pages; EastMallBuy states 8%, as HooBuy's agreement does.
Moving one row: decode the HooBuy link, rebuild it elsewhere
A spreadsheet row that points to hoobuy.com holds three things: the marketplace, the item ID and HooBuy's wrapper. Only the first two travel. HooBuy's link format is hoobuy.com/product/{0, 1 or 2}/{item ID}, where 0 is 1688, 1 is Taobao and 2 is Weidian. We tested a Weidian item through that format on 26 October 2026; a Taobao link reached HooBuy's login page and 1688 is untested.
- Read the platform digit. The number after
product/names the marketplace in HooBuy's code. - Copy the item ID after the last slash.
- Rebuild the marketplace item link from the ID, and check that it opens the same product and price on the marketplace.
- Paste it into the new agent. Agents with an
?url=format take the full marketplace link, URL-encoded; others take only the ID plus a platform word. - Compare the price and options against the row before you pay.
Our HooBuy link converter is built for steps 1 to 4 across HooBuy and agent formats. One trap: agents do not share digits. A third-party list from 5 October 2026 gives USFans product/3 for Weidian and product/1 for 1688, which is not HooBuy's numbering, so never swap the digit by hand. The row tracker and move checklist help you keep old and new links together.
Keep the marketplace and the item ID; rebuild everything else in the new agent's format.
HooBuy vs CNFans, ACBuy, MuleBuy and HubbuyCN
"CNFans or HooBuy" and "HooBuy ou Hubbuy" (HooBuy or Hubbuy, in Portuguese) are the two comparison searches we see most. None of the four named alternatives is Open on our site, as the labels show.
| Agent | Label | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| CNFans | Closed | Maintenance page after cyberattack notices on 26 Oct; rep.tools (which earns agent affiliate commissions) reported owner-confirmed closure in August 2026; on 6 Oct its homepage loaded with no closure notice |
| ACBuy | Hold | Homepage loads and ordering works; its latest notice we saw (24 Jun 2026) urged submitting parcels promptly; rep.tools reported closure in August 2026 |
| MuleBuy | Hold | "Upstream request failed" error again on 26 Oct (also 18 Oct); raid claims unconfirmed |
| HubbuyCN | Moved | Its own homepage said services would cease on 1 Oct 2026; platform is now Hubbuy at hubbuy.com, 300 days storage on its own site |
The HooBuy status page shows why HooBuy is not in the open list either. If your row came from a CNFans sheet, the CNFans page explains how to rescue the marketplace link first; the same method works for old Hubbuy rows.
None of the four is an Open option; pick from the nine in the table.
What changes when you move a row
The item stays the same; the account around it does not. A new agent means a new account, a new address book and, for Brazil, your CPF tax ID entered again. HooBuy's coupons are tied to the account and cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash (help-centre id 36), so a coupon does not follow you. Items you already paid for at HooBuy stay under HooBuy's 90-day storage rule. Place a small first order.
Expect a new account and a fresh price check, not a transfer of anything you already hold at HooBuy.
How to choose by what matters to you
Fees. If you want a stated zero service fee, start with Oopbuy, KakoBuy, Superbuy, LitBuy or LoveGoBuy; each says so on its own pages. Sugargoo adds ¥8 per parcel for packing, LoveGoBuy about ¥8 for customs, and Superbuy charges a flat ¥20 per item from Xianyu, Paipai and Zhuanzhuan.
Storage. KakoBuy offers 100 days on its own pages and Oopbuy 90 plus ¥10 per 30 days; LoveGoBuy's 60 days (third-party figure) is the shortest in the table. A longer window also means more days of exposure if an agent closes.
Photos. Sugargoo lists 7 free photos, LitBuy 3–6 and Superbuy 3; KakoBuy and Oopbuy do not publish the free count. HooBuy charges ¥1 per detailed photo, with the help centre allowing 20 and the order form capping at 10.
Payment. KakoBuy lists PayPal, Alipay and WeChat; Oopbuy lists Wise, PayPal (4.5% + $0.30), cards and Klarna; LitBuy lists Visa, Mastercard, Discover and PayPal. Whatever the menu, pay per order and keep nothing in the agent account. Check the HooBuy payment methods page for HooBuy's side.
Lines for Germany, Italy, France and Brazil. Other agents' line prices are not in our notes, so compare each agent's own calculator before moving. For a baseline, HooBuy's estimator quoted ¥98.20 (€14.21 at HooBuy's rate of ¥6.91 per €1) for 1,000 g to Germany on the DHL europe package-f1 line on 26 October 2026, weight only, and $20.50 for 1,000 g to Brazil on Br-standard-f. Our HooBuy shipping page has the rest. EU duty rules changed on 1 July 2026 and the US ended its duty-free threshold in 2025; both are agent-independent.
Rather not open a new account? Send us the row on WhatsApp through the contact page; you still pay per order.
Choose on stated fee and storage first, then photos and payment; compare lines before you move.
What HooBuy buyers ask
Which agent is closest to HooBuy for the same row?
Any agent that buys from the same marketplace can take the same item, because the row is only a Taobao, Weidian or 1688 item ID. On fees, Oopbuy, KakoBuy, Superbuy, LitBuy and LoveGoBuy publish no service fee on their own pages (Superbuy on Taobao, Tmall, JD and 1688), while EastMallBuy's agreement states 8% on goods and shipping, like a clause in HooBuy's own registration agreement.
Do HooBuy product links work on other agents?
No. A HooBuy link such as hoobuy.com/product/2/ plus an ID only opens inside HooBuy. The number after product is HooBuy's platform code, where 0 is 1688, 1 is Taobao and 2 is Weidian. Take the item ID, rebuild the marketplace link, then paste it into the new agent's link format or use a converter.
Should I choose CNFans or HooBuy?
Neither as a first choice. CNFans carries our Closed label: it shows a maintenance page after cyberattack notices, and a rep.tools report of owner-confirmed closure in August 2026. HooBuy is on Hold. If you need a name from that pair, use an open agent from the table instead, and keep the first order small.
HooBuy ou HubbuyCN: o que mudou?
Hubbuy is not an alternative in its old form. HubbuyCN's own homepage said its platform was upgraded to Hubbuy, with an account-migration deadline of 30 September 2026 and services ending on 1 October 2026. The old product-link format returned a not-found page on hubbuy.com when we checked on 6 October 2026, so old HubbuyCN rows need rebuilding at an open agent.
Is an agent that is open the same as an agent that is safe?
No. Open on our site means the agent's page loaded on 26 October 2026 and we found no credible closure report. It is not an endorsement. Several agents on this site carry Closed labels, so pay per order, keep storage short and leave nothing in any agent account. Three agents sat behind bot checks that day.
Can I move items already stored at HooBuy to another agent?
Nothing in HooBuy's help centre describes transferring stored items to another agent. Its rule is free storage for 90 days from the Stored status, then the goods count as abandoned and are destroyed. For items already in its warehouse, plan a parcel or a ticket; a new link only helps with rows you have not paid for.
