CSSBuy Ledger
THE COMPLETE FEE LEDGER

CSSBuy fees, itemised.

CSSBuy does not quote one fee. It quotes several, each triggered by a different event, and most buyers meet them one at a time. Each block below is sorted by the moment it appears in a normal order.

§ 00 · WHERE THIS STARTS

What CSSBuy is, in three numbers

What matters practically: Free storage — 90 days from the In Warehouse status; Overdue storage — 15 CNY per order per month after day 90; QC photos — Unlimited images on request; Returns — Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller. Inspection is listed as Unlimited images on request.

Every fee listed here hangs off one of those published facts, which is why they vary between orders rather than being uniform.

§ 01 · THE BUYING LEG

The purchase itself: where the agency charge attaches

This is the first money you meet and for many orders the smallest. Structural exceptions exist wherever sourcing is harder than clicking.

The practical rule: if everything you want is listed on a major platform, this leg barely features. Return terms read Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller.

§ 02 · THE SHIPPING LEG

Operations, declaration and handling — the flat stack

The lane rate is the headline; the fixed companions follow, indifferent to whether you ship 300 grams or three kilos. Inspection is listed as Unlimited images on request.

Because most of these are per-parcel rather than per-item, consolidation discounts them in full.

  • Verify, then fly. Unlimited QC images at the warehouse, a 90-day storage clock, then one consolidated parcel once you approve.
§ 03 · PAYMENT RAILS

The invisible fee on the way into your balance

Two buyers with identical carts can pay different totals purely because they funded their wallets differently.

The percentages are individually trivial and collectively annoying — worth checking once, then forgetting. Return terms read Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller.

§ 04 · STORAGE

Day 90 and everything it changes

CSSBuy allows 90 days at no charge. Once grace expires the shelf converts into a metered cost, and that is where "I will ship it next month" starts costing real money. Inspection is listed as Unlimited images on request.

Doing nothing slowly is the only way to incur this one.

  • Numbers we stand behind. The six services, the storage rules and the lane rates on this page are quoted from the agent's published terms — never invented.
§ 05 · RETURNS AND EXTRAS

Protection, extra photos and how they are priced

7 days is the whole decision period, and it begins when the item is stocked in rather than when you read the notification.

As documented for CSSBuy: Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller. Return terms read Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller.

Treat every add-on as a decision about one specific parcel rather than a default setting.

§ 07 · FROM THE FEE RECORD

Where CSSBuy puts the charge numbers

How long can I store my items in the CSSBuy warehouse? Items sit free for 90 days from the moment the order status hits In Warehouse. After that, storage costs 15 yuan per order per month, and items left past 90 days without shipping or extending are considered given up and destroyed. Inspection is listed as Unlimited images on request.

Asked directly — Which marketplaces does CSSBuy buy from? JD, Taobao, TMALL, 1688 and Weidian — five marketplaces containing billions of products, which lets customers find the cheapest prices and source locally.

How long does CSSBuy take to handle my orders? Usually, the order is fulfilled within 24 hours after you have paid for it — that is CSSBuy's own published turnaround, and our manual tracks how it holds up in practice. Holding is documented at 90 days from the In Warehouse status.

Questions buyers actually ask

What fees does CSSBuy charge in total?

Five categories: buying commission or per-item sourcing fees, freight plus its fixed companions on the shipping leg, whatever your payment rail adds when funding the account, metered storage once 90 free days closes, and return carriage if you send something back. The free window runs 90 days.

Are there charges beyond freight?

Yes. Handling, packing materials and customs documentation are levied per parcel and do not scale with what you bought, which is why consolidation is consistently cheaper than splitting. Holding is documented at 90 days from the In Warehouse status.

Does CSSBuy charge a subscription or membership?

There is no standing subscription to hold an account; you pay per event — when something is bought, shipped, stored past its free window or returned. All of it runs through CSSBuy's warehouse.

What happens if I leave items in the warehouse too long?

Storage is free for 90 days, then converts into a metered per-item charge. Unclaimed goods beyond that are written off. Inspection is listed as Unlimited images on request.

Why did my payment cost slightly more than my order total?

Funding an account is not always free — card processors, wallets and PayPal each take a different cut, levied on the amount added rather than the amount spent. Check which rail CSSBuy treats as cheapest. The freight options on file: Lane rates published to the US, Brazil and Europe.

Any smaller details worth knowing about CSSBuy?

A few things worth holding onto: Overdue storage is documented as 15 CNY per order per month after day 90; QC photos is documented as Unlimited images on request; Returns is documented as Return shipping fees are paid; items can go back to the seller. None of these change the arithmetic above, but they shape what is realistic to expect.

Price here is a behaviour problem more than a tariff problem — most of these lines are avoidable once you know they exist.
