Read the seller minimum before choosing a quantity
Kakobuy’s indexed official buying tutorial specifically warns readers to check a 1688 seller’s minimum purchase quantity. That supports checking each offer; it does not establish one minimum that applies to all 1688 sellers or all products.Kakobuy: official purchasing tutorial
Open the original offer and record the item ID, selected option and minimum shown. Ask whether the requirement applies to that option, to a particular product or to a wider seller order. Leave that question unresolved until the seller or purchasing service confirms it for your order.
Separate pieces, packs and included components
Write the buying unit in words beside the quantity. A pair of shoes, a pack of socks and a two-piece outfit describe different relationships between an order unit and its contents. A styled photograph does not define the unit you will be charged for.
Illustrative arithmetic only: if a confirmed pack contains three separate pieces and you order two packs, the expected contents are six pieces. This is not a quantity claim about any listing here. The important step is to confirm both the pack contents and the number of packs before doing the multiplication.
| Field | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Buying unit | Is one unit a piece, pair, pack or complete set? |
| Minimum | Which offer and options does the minimum cover? |
| Contents | What exactly is included in each ordered unit? |
| Confirmation | Do the selected options and order total match the request? |
Match the displayed price to the actual order
Check whether the price you are comparing is per buying unit and whether it depends on a quantity tier or option. Ask for the amount applicable to the exact quantity you intend to buy. A catalogue estimate for one option is not a confirmed quote for a different pack or tier.
If you need different colours or sizes, list the requested quantity for each option separately. Ask whether that combination meets the seller’s minimum. Do not assume that changing a cart field below a stated minimum will be accepted or that mixed options automatically qualify.
Send a quantity request that can be checked
Keep the seller’s answer with the source offer and review the purchasing confirmation before authorizing payment. If a substitution or larger quantity is proposed, ask for an updated option list and total first. The record should show what you agreed to, rather than only a screenshot of a low starting price.
