Tips for Purchasing Used Items from Third Party Platforms

<br/> Have you heard of transaction of used items, or wondered about the safety of such items at lower prices?<br/> Research has shown that a person's happiness can be boosted if he or she regularly and sensibly deals with the "waste" that takes up space in their lives. But now as online shopping makes our lives more wonderful, part of our excessive consumption and replaced products will become the home waste. Given this, in addition to the online marketplaces like Taobao and JD.com where you can shop brand new items, there are also lots of platforms designed for exchange and transaction of used items.<br/> <br/>

<br/> Since online shopping comes with its own risks, we must be more cautious when purchasing used items. I know you guys want to do something new in the year 2020, but you should be better prepared for it. Let’s take a look at the platforms where you can do some really nice shopping of used items!<br/> <br/> Do you know these cult-like marketplaces for used items?<br/> <br/> Xianyu: an affiliate of Taobao, it is the front runner in the used-item market, which positions itself as a comprehensive trading platform of all categories and is No.1 in terms of number of users and products.<br/> <br/> Advantages:it is favored by many Taobao users, who can log in using the same Taobao account and can sell items in just one click. This helps create a large user base and product supply which in turn can meet various needs of users. Buyers will have a hassle-free purchasing experience with the processes from “overall search/recommended- >browse -> order -> purchase -> wait for package - acceptance confirmation“ . As for payment security, Alipay will ensure every transaction will be done on the basis of credit.<br/> <br/> Shortcomings: due to huge number of products and sellers, it's difficult to authenticate a product just based on so many product images; though with built-in social function, Xianyu is still far away from being a social network platform. At the same time, as the most popular used-item marketplace, it has removed most of bad actors, but there are always some sneaky ones taking advantage of the new comers whenever they can. <br/> Click here to see the tips for purchasing from Xianyu http://bbs.superbuy.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=333732&fid=89<br/> <br/> Paipai: a marketplace operated by JD.com, which is mainly engaged in purchasing and recycling of used items and item rental, as well as trading of personal unused items. Third-party stores dominate this marketplace, which recycle and resell used items. For these stores, their credit can tell if they can be trusted to place an order. After receiving the "wasted item", the sellers will perform such processes as testing, repairing and renovation. Although the price listed on Paipai is about 30% higher than its peers, the item quality will justify the price difference. Taking a closer look there, you will find that the section of Quality Used Items is divided into detailed categories, and the items are directly sold by Paipai itself with sources from JD.com’s inventory or quality sellers. So the item quality can be guaranteed. <br/> <br/>

<br/> If you're new to used-item shopping who wants a good deal without spending lots of time on item selecting, the Quality Used Items are just for you. Of course, you will occasionally come across some used items being sold as new ones after renovation, so be cautious when placing an order.<br/> <br/> Zhuanzhuan: a marketplace run by 58.com, which touts itself as a professional platform of used items. Except for those officially certified, sellers are not allowed to sell items there, and its risk control is more strict. Generally speaking, it is a trading platform for personal unused items with multiple functions and various categories. The quality inspection service for products like cellphones and home appliances can ensure transaction security for users.<br/> <br/> Features:<br/> ① Preferred inspection: it offers inspection service for free. Any cellphone purchased there will be inspected by the quality inspection center with a quality inspection report and 30-day warranty. (cellphones purchased in the section of Quality Used Items enjoy 7-day Return Guarantee and 180-day Quality Warranty)<br/> ② Mother and baby products: popular section in the platform, including exclusively certified chat group of mothers, BBS and various recommended buys, which has successfully helped many mothers to sell their unused stuff.<br/> <br/>

<br/> ③ Select styles: no one can say no to stylish wear at lower prices. You can find a variety of style options here.<br/> <br/>

<br/> Shortcomings: except for popular categories ( cellphone, digital & 3C, mother and baby, beauty & clothes, etc.), other ones are basically skipped by users with few deals generated.<br/> <br/> Kongfz.com: a trading platform designed for second-hand books. It is the world's largest one for second-hand Chinese books, with a focus on old editions of books. For more information, please go to → http://bbs.superbuy.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread& <br/> <br/> Here are some other platforms of used items on the market;<br/> The first three are in the business mode of recycling and reselling, which to some extent amounts to self-branded sellers.<br/> <br/>

<br/> Aihuishou.com and Huishoubao.com: marketplaces of used 3C products and consumer electronics, which offer online valuation and pick-up services on demand;<br/> Goshare2: a trading platform designed for women's unused items, which offers identification and cleaning services. The items sold are mainly from famous brands or luxury brands with label price;<br/> HUAFER: it focuses on maternal and baby products and enjoys a good reputation among mothers;<br/> RENEW and REAL: trading platforms of second-hand luxury products, which also offers maintenance service for such products;<br/> Smzdm.com: it mainly sells products purchased from overseas, and the average unit price is higher;<br/> DGTLE: it focuses on digital and electronics.<br/> <br/> As more marketplaces of used items emerge with evolving functions, there are always shortcomings and risks in term of trading on such platforms.
