Why sellers look for a BUFF163 alternative
BUFF163's fees are very low. Getting the money out is the hard part if you don't live in China.
Alipay or a Chinese bank card
Withdrawals go only to a bank card or Alipay account in the real name you verified.
Real-name verification
Users outside mainland China can apply for a manual check with a passport-verified international Alipay account. We found no official confirmation that they can withdraw afterwards.
Chinese help and terms
The site has an English version, but the help pages and the user agreement are in Chinese, under the law of the PRC.
Strict reversal penalties
If a seller reverses a trade, every BUFF account under the same real name is banned. Lifting the ban costs 10% of the order plus the price difference, paid to the buyer, and a 1.5% service fee.
