Kakobuy spreadsheet

Kakobuy's status after August

Kakobuy had a scare in mid-August 2026. It went offline briefly, in the same weeks that CNFans and ACBuy shut down for good and raid reports about Mulebuy spread. Unlike those agents, it came back: by 31 August it was operating normally again. Rumours about Kakobuy "shutting down" still circulate in videos made during the outage. They are out of date.

That matters because Kakobuy links fill a large share of current spreadsheets. "Kakobuy spreadsheet" is one of the most searched agent spreadsheet terms we track. If your sheet uses Kakobuy links, they work.

Kakobuy is working; the shutdown rumours date from a short outage in August.

What Kakobuy charges

Kakobuy is less explicit about fees than some agents. It does not publish a service-fee schedule. Independent reviewers who track agents report that any fee appears per item at checkout and that many standard Taobao and Weidian orders show none. You pay the item, the seller's domestic shipping and, later, international shipping. One third-party tracker in mid-2026 put Kakobuy's exchange rate at roughly 8% above the mid-market rate, which is where much of an agent's margin sits even when the fee line reads zero.

Expect a low or zero fee line and judge Kakobuy on the final total, as with any agent.

The storage question: 45, 100 or 180 days?

Look Kakobuy up and you'll find three different storage periods. Some spreadsheet sites say 45 days, others 90 or 180. The most data-backed source we found, an independent reviewer that measured delivery across dozens of its own Kakobuy parcels, reports 100 days as official policy, with a reminder email at day 90 (which is probably where "90 days" comes from). The lower and higher figures may reflect older terms or promotions.

The safe approach is not to depend on any of them. Check the storage date shown on your items in your Kakobuy account, and plan to ship well before it, both to avoid fees and to limit how long items sit with any agent.

Trust the date in your account, not a number on a spreadsheet site, including this one.

Kakobuy's standout feature: open QC photos

Kakobuy photographs every item that reaches its warehouse, at no charge. What sets it apart is that those photos are openly accessible, keyed to the marketplace listing. Third-party QC finders can therefore show you photos other buyers received from the same listing before you order anything. For spreadsheet buyers, that is a real advantage: you can check a row against real warehouse photos instead of the seller's catalogue images.

The same photos help even if you order through another agent, because the item number is the same. Look up the listing in a QC finder, then order wherever you prefer. The QC guide explains how to read photos and what to look for.

Use Kakobuy's open QC photos to vet spreadsheet rows, whichever agent you order through.

Delivery times and reviews

The same independent reviewer reported a median of about 14.5 days door to door to Canada across 69 of its own Kakobuy parcels. That is one country and one tester's lines, but it is measured, not estimated. Your time depends on the line you pick; see shipping time by line for how the stages add up.

Kakobuy's Trustpilot score was 2.5 out of 5 from 74 reviews on 1 July 2026, a small sample. The reviewer that reported it singled out dispute handling as Kakobuy's weakest area. As with every agent, keep your exposure low: pay per order, check photos promptly and don't leave items stored for months.

Measured delivery looks solid; dispute handling is the reported weak spot.

Payments and refunds at Kakobuy

Independent reviewers list PayPal as an official Kakobuy payment option. Refunds, for example when a seller cancels or a return is accepted, land in your Kakobuy account balance rather than going straight back to your card. That is common among agents, and it is the main reason to pay per order instead of topping up a large balance in advance. If a refund sits in your balance, spend it on your next order or request a withdrawal promptly.

Kakobuy or Oopbuy?

They suit the same buyers. If you already have a Kakobuy account and are happy, there's no reason to switch. If you're choosing now, put two or three items into both checkouts and compare totals. Kakobuy links convert to Oopbuy links with the link converter, and the agent index compares the rest.

Both are reasonable choices in 2026; let the final checkout total decide.
