The money first, then the method, then the limits
Referral tags on the outbound links fund this site, which is a standing reason to be generous about Oopbuy. Below are the three things that are supposed to stop that: who pays, how the figures are produced, and what this guide cannot do for anyone.
The conflict of interest, stated before anything else
Outbound links here carry a referral tag. Open an account or place an order behind one and a commission may follow, at no extra cost to whoever clicked. Nothing else funds the site: no banner inventory, no sponsored section, nobody paying for a kind sentence.
A commission is a standing reason to flatter. The practical defence is to publish the unflattering material at the same prominence as everything else, so that a reader can see it without hunting: the eight-percent clause in the agreement nobody reads, four storage statements that do not agree, the list of what inspection refuses to check, the public review profile with its rating suspended, and a named list of orders for which another agent would be the better choice.
The rule set that produced every figure on this site
The raw material is the operator's own publishing: 210 help-centre articles pulled through the interface the site's own help pages call, the registration agreement and the terms behind it, and the shipping estimator's live payload for the United States, Germany and Britain. Added to that is our own compiled data, measured rather than quoted.
Those sources contradict each other often enough that quoting one of them would be a coin flip. So no single page is quoted as the answer. Each statement is filed by what kind of source it came from, dated, and ranked: the order screen outranks the live estimator, which outranks the agreement, which outranks a dated help article. The figure printed as the one to plan around is the strictest live number, which is the only kind that cannot surprise a budget. The disagreements stay visible underneath it rather than being tidied away.
Pictures follow the same discipline. Every screenshot is the operator's, opened and read before its caption was written. The sixteen category photographs are real listings, picked by eye for a frame that survives being shrunk; their titles and prices belong to the catalogue and are not reprinted here.
What this guide cannot do, and what would make it wrong
It cannot touch an order. No parcel passes through here, no wallet, no account, and nobody here can lean on anyone in a dispute: the relationship that matters runs between whoever placed the order and Oopbuy, and this site is not inside it. For a live order the operator answers at [email protected], and counterfeit reports go to [email protected]; both are published on its contact page, notice/1798905530716098562.
It also cannot tell anyone whether a seller is honest, what a parcel will be charged at a border, or what a line will cost next month. Shipping prices in particular are a reading taken on one afternoon, and the freshness ledger says how old every group of figures is.
What would make it wrong: an edited help article, a repriced line, a policy that quietly changes. A page here that contradicts the operator's current page is a defect, and the useful thing to send to [email protected] is the official page that disagrees. That entry is re-dated and the plan-around figure recomputed from it.
