How do I buy now that CNFans has closed?
CNFans’s agent service has wound down, but ordering the same finds takes about five minutes through likerbuy. Here is the whole process from link to doorstep:
- 1
Find a product
Start on the spreadsheet. Search by keyword, filter by category, or paste a photo to find a visual match among 10,000+ vetted finds. Each entry shows the seller, the price and QC photos from earlier buyers. When something catches your eye, copy its product link — Taobao, Weidian or 1688, exactly as on CNFans.

Find it on likerbuy & pick an agent
Open likerbuy and paste the link into the search bar; the original listing loads with all its options. likerbuy recommends active agents for it — compare a few on price, QC and shipping and pick one. likerbuy then hands you over to that agent to place the order, so you are never locked to a single one.

Order & pay through the agent
On your chosen agent's site, confirm your size, colour and version and check out. At this stage you pay the product price plus domestic Chinese shipping only — international freight comes later, once you have seen your items. A small first order is a sensible way to test the flow.

An agent buys & receives it
Your chosen agent purchases the item from the seller and receives it at the warehouse, usually within a few days. Nothing leaves China yet — the purchase waits in your account until you decide to ship, and you can track it from the dashboard.

Review the QC photos
When the item reaches the warehouse it is photographed and the QC photos are uploaded to your account. Check tags, stitching, soles and hardware. Approve it if it is right — or request a return while it is still in China, before you have paid for shipping.
- 6
Consolidate & ship
Combine your approved items into one parcel — consolidation is where the savings are. Compare shipping lines for your country by speed and price, pay the freight, and track the parcel home. Most orders arrive within one to three weeks.
