Second-hand goods, rare items, vintage pieces and one-off listings
Xianyu, also known as Goofish, is China’s leading marketplace for second-hand, idle and long-tail goods. Listings are often individual, condition-based and time-sensitive, and it is peer-to-peer rather than a standard store. Buying from abroad usually goes through an agent’s DIY-order function, and you should check condition, seller reputation and return terms carefully.
Xianyu (闲鱼), branded internationally as Goofish, is a marketplace for used, idle and rare items — second-hand fashion, discontinued releases, collectibles and one-off pieces. Because listings are individual and often from private sellers, it is more condition- and trust-sensitive than a retail platform. Most agents buy Xianyu items through a manual DIY order, where you provide the listing details.
Locate the exact Xianyu item and note the listing details, photos, price and seller.
Because Xianyu is not in most agents’ direct search, submit the item through the agent’s DIY-order form with the link and details.
The agent buys and receives the item, then inspects it and photographs the real condition.
Review the condition photos, consolidate with other finds and ship internationally.

Xianyu, known internationally as Goofish, is China’s leading second-hand and idle-goods marketplace. It is used for used items, rare or discontinued releases, collectibles and long-tail listings, and is largely peer-to-peer.
Because Xianyu is not in most agents’ direct search, you usually buy through an agent’s DIY-order function: you provide the listing link and details, and the agent purchases the item, inspects it and ships it to you.
It can be, but used goods carry more risk. Check the seller’s reputation, look closely at listing photos, and confirm whether returns are possible before ordering. An agent’s warehouse inspection gives you condition photos of the actual item.
Often no. Many second-hand listings are sold as-is with no return, so review condition carefully and rely on the agent’s inspection photos before paying for international shipping.
Second-hand, vintage, discontinued and one-off items — things you cannot easily find new on Taobao or Weidian. It is popular with collectors and buyers hunting rare pieces.
For overseas buyers, yes — and usually via a DIY order, since Xianyu listings are individual and not in standard agent search. The agent handles payment, inspection and shipping.
