How to Convert Pandabuy Links 2026

Your old Pandabuy, Weidian and Taobao links all still work. Here's how to convert them to any active agent in seconds.

The link conversion question was the most-asked question in the rep community immediately after Pandabuy shut down, and the answer is simpler than most people expected. A Pandabuy link is just a wrapper around a Weidian or Taobao URL. Strip the Pandabuy wrapper and you have a Weidian or Taobao link that works with any agent.

The Link Converter at ChinaRepTools handles this in under 10 seconds. Paste the original Weidian or Taobao URL (not the Pandabuy URL — if you only have the Pandabuy URL, you need to extract the original seller link from it first). Select your new agent. Click convert. The conversion process has not changed since Pandabuy's closure — agents like CNFans and Kakobuy were always purchasing from Weidian directly; Pandabuy was just another intermediary doing the same thing.
The Good News

Pandabuy's shutdown doesn't mean your product links are dead. Every Weidian and Taobao URL you had saved still points to an active seller. You just need a way to generate a purchase link for your new agent β€” and that takes about 10 seconds with the right tool.

Use this free tool: The Link Converter at ChinaRepTools.com converts any Pandabuy, Weidian or Taobao link to a purchase link for CNFans, Kakobuy, Sugargoo and 20+ other agents instantly. No account needed, completely free.

How Link Conversion Works

Converting Pandabuy links to other platform formats extracts the underlying Taobao, Weidian, or 1688 product URL embedded in the Pandabuy link format. This underlying URL is platform-neutral and can be submitted to any purchasing agent that supports the relevant source platform.

The conversion process is useful when a product link is shared in Pandabuy format but you prefer to purchase through a different agent. It is also useful for verifying that two differently-formatted links are pointing to the same product β€” comparing the extracted underlying URLs confirms whether links are equivalent.

Link conversion has no effect on the product itself, only on which agent platform is used to purchase it. The seller, price, and item details are all determined by the underlying product URL and are independent of which agent format the link is originally shared in.

After You Convert β€” What Comes Next

Link conversion is the easy part. The actual migration involves choosing an agent you're comfortable with and learning their specific workflow β€” which takes a couple of orders but isn't hard once you've done it. Our full migration guide walks through this step by step, including the parts that are slightly different between agents (like how storage consolidation works, or how to set declared value for shipping).

If you haven't decided on an agent yet, the agent comparison table breaks down fees, QC photo counts, storage periods, and shipping line availability for every major platform. For most buyers converting from Pandabuy, CNFans is the closest like-for-like replacement. If you're primarily buying luxury bags or watches, Superbuy is worth considering for the QC photo quality despite the higher fee. EU buyers should check ACBuy before committing anywhere β€” their EU shipping rates can offset their fee premium entirely.

One thing that trips people up during migration: some old Pandabuy spreadsheet links were wrapped in Pandabuy's own URL format, not raw Weidian links. If a link doesn't convert cleanly, it usually means you need to go one layer deeper β€” find the original Weidian shop ID in the URL string and rebuild the link manually. Most converter tools handle this automatically, but it's worth knowing in case you hit an error. The community on r/FashionReps and r/RepSneakers is helpful for any edge cases the tool doesn't handle.

For buyers who were mainly using Pandabuy for spreadsheet-sourced finds: all those spreadsheets are still live and still updated. The sellers haven't moved. Check the spreadsheet search guide for where to find current community-maintained spreadsheets indexed by brand and category β€” there's more coverage now than there was during Pandabuy's peak because the community has continued building out the sources.
