FSBuy FX markup
Exchange-rate markup is where many agent margins hide. FSBuy is often discussed around ~8.3% — confirm live. This directory never converts currency for you and never takes your card.
Spreadsheet CNY ≠ landed cost
Rows on the FSBuy spreadsheet show seller CNY (and rough USD estimates). Funding an agent adds FX/service behaviour, domestic China fees, then international freight. Ignoring markup is how “cheap finds” lose to a slower competitor with cleaner FX.

What is FSBuy’s FX markup?
Public shopper notes often place FSBuy’s exchange-rate markup around a ~8.3%. Confirm the live conversion in checkout — screenshots go stale.
Why isn’t there a simple service fee table?
For many buyers the margin shows up in FX rather than a separate line item. That is why CNY stickers on a spreadsheet are not the bill you pay.
How do I compare FSBuy FX to other agents?
