In recent years, cross-border e-commerce has grown exponentially, and many international buyers are seeking ways to purchase Chinese products at affordable prices. Joyabuy, a China-based buying agent, provides services that help global customers shop on 1688.com—Alibaba’s wholesale marketplace—without needing a Chinese bank account or phone number.

What is Joyabuy?

Joyabuy is a professional purchasing agent tailored for international buyers looking to source low-cost products from Chinese manufacturers on 1688. Unlike traditional dropshipping platforms, Joyabuy offers consolidation, quality inspection, and logistics support at competitive fees. Below is a step-by-step guide on utilizing its services.

1. Register on Joyabuy

The first step is creating an account on the Joyabuy website. No complicated KYC process is involved—just provide an email address and password to start sourcing products immediately.

2. Find Desirable Products on 1688

Instead of registering on 1688 (which requires a Chinese ID), browse directly on the platform or use third-party lists such as this curated product spreadsheet. Copy product URLs or specifications and submit them to Joyabuy’s order form.

3. Submit Your Order to Joyabuy

In your Joyabuy dashboard:

• Paste the 1688 product link & your preferred quantity.
• Include customization requests (e.g., packaging adjustments).
• Choose optional services (like quality checks).

4. Make Payment & Wait for Consolidation

Joyabuy calculates product expenses plus a small service fee (typically 5–8%). You can pay via PayPal or international bank transfer. If ordering from multiple suppliers, they consolidate packages to reduce shipping costs.

5. Select Shipping & Track Your Package

After warehouse receipts, Joyabuy offers shipping quotes via DHL, FedEx, or sea freight. Each method varies in cost and delivery time—air freight usually takes 5–12 days, while sea shipments take 180–45 days for bulk goods.
