UIDBuy Fees Explained: Exchange Rate, Returns and Storage
Updated 2026-11-09
The item estimate leaves out several costs, and the exchange rate is the easiest one to miss.
| Cost | Amount | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Agent service fee | None listed | Each order |
| Exchange-rate markup | Roughly 11–12% over mid-market | Each item |
| QC photos | 3–5 free | Each item |
| Return request | First each month free, then ¥5 | Each request |
| Package preview | ¥20, non-refundable | Each application |
| Storage | Free for 90 days | Purchased items |
| International shipping | Route and weight | Each parcel |
A markup of 11 to 12 percent adds about ¥22 to ¥24 to a ¥200 item. It scales with value and does not shrink when you buy more.
