Listing economics
MOQ and price tiers
Compare the selected SKU combination—not only the headline unit price. The minimum order, tier threshold, packaging quantity, domestic freight, and stock can affect the purchase total.
1688 Agent
Buy from 1688 with Purchasing, QC and Global Shipping
Buy from 1688 with SRCBuy. Review MOQ, price tiers and variants, submit a purchase request, check warehouse arrivals, consolidate, and ship worldwide.
Risk boundary
Supplier information is not a guarantee
Treat seller badges, transaction history, product claims, certificates, and factory language as listing information. SRCBuy does not independently certify a supplier or guarantee manufacturing quality.
Restocking
Repeat purchasing workflow
Use the previous order as a reference, then verify the current link, seller, variant, quantity, MOQ, unit price, freight, and availability before each repeat request.

Service Overview
A 1688 purchasing workflow for global buyers and small sellers
SRCBuy helps you act on a specific 1688 marketplace listing: review listing terms, submit a documented purchase request, receive goods at the warehouse, check visible arrival records, and arrange international shipping. It does not offer supplier discovery, factory auditing, or procurement guarantees.
Review MOQ and listing tiers
Check the minimum quantity, unit-price brackets, variant rules, and China domestic freight shown by the listing before submitting a request.
Confirm every SKU and quantity
Record colour, size, specification, pack quantity, and buyer notes so the requested combination is clear before marketplace purchase.
Receive and review in China
Use warehouse receiving information and available basic check photos to compare visible arrivals with the submitted order.
Plan small-batch or repeat orders
Keep item links and order history organized when a listed product is suitable for testing, restocking, or combining with other supported marketplace purchases.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a 1688 agent do?
A 1688 agent helps an overseas buyer submit purchases from supported 1688 listings, receive the goods in China, review warehouse records, consolidate eligible parcels, and arrange international shipping.
How do 1688 MOQ and price tiers work?
Each seller defines its own minimum quantity and pricing brackets. A lower unit price may require a larger quantity, and some variants can have separate rules. Review the exact listing and selected SKU combination before submitting.
Does SRCBuy verify the supplier or factory?
No supplier-discovery, factory-audit, or procurement guarantee is implied. SRCBuy helps with a listed marketplace purchase and warehouse workflow. Seller badges, years, transaction data, and claims shown on a listing are information to evaluate, not a guarantee from SRCBuy.
Can I test a small order before restocking?
You can submit a small order when the seller listing and selected variants permit it. Availability, MOQ, sample terms, and price are controlled by the seller and can change.
What does the warehouse check confirm?
Basic receiving information can help compare visible quantity, variant, exterior condition, and order records. It is not professional product testing, authentication, certification review, or a factory inspection.
Can I repeat a previous 1688 purchase?
Order records can make a repeat request easier, but recheck the current listing, seller, SKU, price, MOQ, stock, and domestic freight because marketplace terms may change.
