What Is Weidian?
Every product link in the Cnfans spreadsheet originates from a specific Weidian store. Each listing has a unique numeric itemID — this is the weidian_id that agents like KakoBuy use to locate and purchase the exact product on your behalf.

- 1Weidian stores operate entirely in Chinese and only accept Chinese payment methods (Alipay, WeChat Pay).
- 2Sellers only ship to Chinese domestic addresses via Chinese courier services.
- 3There is no international shipping option on the platform.
- 4Agents like KakoBuy create a domestic Chinese address, purchase the item for you, and consolidate it for international shipping.
- 5Agents also provide the critical QC photo service that would be impossible without a domestic middleman.
