What gets scored, and how much each field counts
Four fields carry the score, and two familiar ones are left out on purpose. Accepting a rebuilt source address is worth 40 points, because an address a platform will not take is a dead end whatever else the row says. Still taking orders is worth 25, and free QC photos are worth 20.
The last 15 points go to freshness: whether the row was checked inside the past 90 days. Service fees and storage terms earn nothing, because every figure this site has seen for them is unverified, and an unverified number should not decide where you move a sheet. The checking method page spells the scoring out.
The order that came out
Applied to the eleven directory pages, the order is short. Kakobuy, Sugargoo, Superbuy, Joyagoo, Oopbuy, Litbuy, Loongbuy, Eastmallbuy and Lovegobuy all read as taking orders on their checked dates. CNFans and Hoobuy appear as operating too, with their rows still marked unverified.
Only one row is the one this site hands readers, and not because it won a fee comparison. Kakobuy accepts rebuilt addresses, nothing in its row rests on an unverified figure, and the address it hands back is the same Weidian listing the wrapper was hiding. That chain is what the position rests on.
One line on every entry
Kakobuy, Sugargoo and Joyagoo: taking orders, rebuilt addresses accepted, free QC photos recorded as included. Superbuy: the same on the first two, with QC photos recorded as partly free. Oopbuy, Litbuy, Loongbuy, Eastmallbuy and Lovegobuy: taking orders, QC terms left unverified here.
CNFans and Hoobuy: listed as operating, nothing more. The two names people search separately, ACBuy and AllChinaBuy, are one operation and read closed. Every line ends with the date it was last looked at, and a line that changes gets rewritten in the changelog rather than quietly edited.
The cases readers push back on
Pushback arrives in three shapes. A reader used a platform that is not on this list and it worked — expected, since the list covers platforms with a directory page this site could check, not the whole market. A reader found a lower fee than a row implies — possible, and the row never carried a fee figure.
The third shape is an address rejected by a platform marked as accepting them. That usually means the rebuild was incomplete, because a wrapper rebuilt halfway keeps a marker the other platform cannot read. Check the rebuilt address against the format before you blame the row.
