Done google trends on both and pandabuy is much much bigger( I know this isn't a good metric, but still one to take count of). On top of that Pandabuy's reddit and every social media is bigger than superbuy(including on fashionreps pandabuy's influence is bigger). As an avid social media consumer, when someone wears reps or something like that, it's always a 'drop pandabuy link'. I've never seen a superbuy videos. Maybe superbuy is bigger in revenue, but no way they are bigger in social media culture.(08-12-2023, 11:37 PM)yeahbuddy112 Wrote:(08-12-2023, 11:32 PM)cookz028lulz Wrote: Because they are freight forwarders, they make more money shipping other things than your 5kg reps reps lol. They still constitute as small business by revenue (probably barely a million in revenue)Bro, I have had hauls from different agents, totalling up to 40kg in total. By far pandabuy is the most popular agent. I know they are just the middle man and forward the products, but I believe that their profit is immense. I once chargebacked an agent and paypal sided with me cuz I said the products were fake lol.
My point is they are not the one selling the items, you chose them to streamline the purchasing and delivery process and to get shit cheap. Yes, they make money by charging more for shipping but they also have expenses to cover. When you SE them that means they are losing money they paid the sellers for the items and shipping cost. That is why is a no for me.
You also basically have to hope PayPal sides with you in any SE. I just don't see the point if it leads to your address being blacklisted.
As someone who knows a lot about this, I am telling you they are not making as much as you think after expenses. How much do you think shipping from china is? Like do you think shipping is $20 for X weight and they charge you $50?
I have had friends ship me stuff direct from china, it's cheaper but not much cheaper than using an agent. Bulk of their profit is from currency exchange fees. Pandabuy is still not the biggest it's still superbuy. I know a lot about this because I was into rep big time before covid.
I am not saying don't SE them it's just not something I would do when other ways I can get it. Anyways I have said all I want to on this.
Anyways about the SE, I don't really know how to SE an agent. DNA wouldnt work, EB also not. They can basically do whatever they want because they're located in China. I was thinking about WIR but that wouldnt mean anything for a rep item because basically anything costs the same.
Sorry for ranting about who's bigger, just wanted to drop my statement.
