Device add-ons through 100buy, and the model check that stays with you
100buy buys, receives, photographs and ships. This page sets out what its inspection pages say about an add-on’s model, which photo to ask for, how sealed packs are treated and what an order costs.
100buy’s role and the route an order takes
100buy is a buying agent for Chinese marketplaces. Once you pick something there, it settles with the seller, has the goods delivered to its own warehouse in China, sends you photos of them on arrival and forwards everything when you submit a parcel. According to the site settings recorded on 18 October 2026, its link and search ordering works with Taobao, Tmall, 1688, Weidian, JD, Pinduoduo and Xianyu.
How to order an add-on through 100buy, step by step, with the model check in its place: write your fit note; find the listing through the catalog or the marketplace; open it on 100buy.com and select the option that names your model; pay; let the seller ship to the warehouse; look at the stock-in photos and the label close-up you asked for; then send the parcel off on the shipping line you prefer.
Nothing in that chain looks at your device. The model check happens twice, both times on your side: when you pick the option, and when you read the label photo.
Fit questions no stock-in picture answers
100buy’s Inspection Information page divides its check in two. On every order the warehouse counts what came in and compares the color, size and other chosen options with your order. Then its note b sets a limit for electrical, digital and peripheral goods: for those, the model sits outside the inspection, together with quality and spare parts.
A second 100buy page, its FAQ on the scope of purchasing and inspection, reads more generously at first. It names model and version number among the things inspectors look at, then says electronic and digital goods get an outside look only, without switching anything on and without confirming that a sealed pack contains all its parts. Is a phone case a peripheral? Neither page says. Take the narrow reading: nobody at the warehouse holds a case against a phone or compares its model with yours.
Reading the QC photos for an add-on therefore means looking for words rather than shapes: the model printed on the bag, the box or the insert card, matched letter by letter with your note. The standard set of photos is small, generally three according to 100buy’s Fine Photography page, and it seldom shows packaging text unless you ask.
Asking for the label photo when you order
The price list for extra warehouse services on 100buy’s value-added services page puts additional close-up photos at 1 RMB each, and you can ask for them while placing the order, before anything has reached the warehouse.
Ask for one thing: a close-up of whatever text on the packaging names the model. That may be a sticker on the bag, a printed insert card, the side of a small box or text molded inside the case. If the add-on comes in a sealed pouch, ask for the outside label only, so the seal stays intact.
The picture arrives while the parcel is still in China, which is the last cheap moment to notice that the seller sent the neighboring option. It costs less than the shipping on a single wrong case.
Sealed packs, returns and the opened screen protector
100buy’s current return page sets conditions for eligible returns and special requirements for some sealed goods. Before opening a screen protector or accessory pack, ask whether that action affects this seller’s acceptance. The public article does not establish a blanket rule that every opened screen-protector pouch is non-returnable.
Goods with batteries built in are turned away by 100buy’s shipping notes, which is why charging cases and similar powered items are left out of this site altogether.
That leaves a simple order of work for anything sealed: compare the label photo with your note first, and open nothing until the label matches. What a seller offers when something arrives wrong is a separate subject, handled through 100buy’s own after-sales pages.
Plain add-ons without device-maker logos
100buy’s rules and plain sense point the same way for device add-ons.
To help protect intellectual property rights, 100buy does not provide services for products without verified brand authorization.
Its Service Terms also list, as item (j), goods that infringe copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights among the things it will not handle, and it keeps a separate Non-Compliant Product Report page. For a device add-on the reading is short: a case or band that prints a device maker’s logo is the kind of item those rules exclude, and nothing about fit needs one. “For” followed by a model name on a plain case says which device it fits; a maker’s logo printed on the case claims something else.
Fees, the exchange rate and the service fee
What an add-on costs through 100buy is built from a few lines: the item price as listed, the seller’s own delivery to the warehouse, any extra photos, the international shipping for the parcel, whose estimate itemises a handling charge and a fuel surcharge next to the weight cost, and the cost of paying in. The PayPal page lists a top-up fee of 4.5% plus $0.30.
On the service fee, 100buy’s Service & Fees page states that buying from the usual marketplaces adds no handling charge on 100buy’s side. The final lines of a payment appear only on the payment step inside your account, which sits behind the login.
A comparison only helps if both quotes describe the accessory that fits your exact model. Save the CNY price for that option, checkout conversion, local delivery and intended parcel route. The accessory cost checklist prevents a cheaper incompatible option from setting the budget.

Why 100buy for an add-on, and when another route is better
Every shopping agent buys from the same marketplaces, receives at a warehouse in China and ships onward, and none of them can try an add-on on your device. Comparing agents for an add-on order comes down to three questions: how their inspection pages describe the model check, what an extra photo costs and when you can ask for it, and how they treat sealed items on return. Other shopping agents you will see next to catalog listings work in broadly the same way, and the same three questions apply to each.
What 100buy offers on those three: inspection pages that state the model limit in writing, a label photo that can be requested with the order, and a return page that spells out its sealed-item standard. Its fee page asks nothing extra for buying on the usual marketplaces; the exchange rate is where the cost sits, at about a tenth above mid-market in our check.
When to use a different route: if a shop in your own country sells the same add-on with a returns policy you can use, a single screen protector rarely justifies an international parcel; and if you need someone to try the add-on on the device, no agent offers that.
Notices and coupons
100buy publishes notices in its help center, holiday schedules and service changes among them, and runs coupon offers inside user accounts. Coupon values and conditions change too often to repeat here, and none of them changes the model check; read the current terms in your account before counting on one.
Holiday notices matter more than coupons for an add-on order: during long breaks in China sellers usually stop shipping and warehouse work slows, so a case ordered just before a break can wait a good while for its stock-in photos. If timing matters, look for a holiday notice in 100buy’s help center and read its dates rather than assuming them.
Help pages carry no dates, so this site records the day each one was read. Every 100buy page linked here was opened on 19 October 2026; if a page now says something different, the page wins.
