What happened to ACBuy

ACBuy shut down in August 2026, the same month as CNFans, according to the rep.tools status board, which records owner confirmation. Creators had posted closure warnings as early as May 2026. Its Trustpilot page shows 4.5 from 974 reviews, and the latest review is dated 30 July 2026, consistent with activity stopping around then. Its homepage may still load as an empty shell, which does not mean it is taking orders.

ACBuy was big: about 118,000 searches a month worldwide, spread across the US, Brazil and the UK, and roughly 6,600 a month in the US for ACBuy spreadsheets alone. Many of those sheets still circulate.

ACBuy cannot take new orders; its links are still useful once converted.

Why ACBuy links still work

An agent link is a wrapper. Inside every ACBuy link sits the item number of a listing on Taobao, Weidian or 1688, and those marketplaces did not close when ACBuy did. The seller is usually still there, often with the same listing. Strip the wrapper and you have a link any working agent can order from. This is exactly the situation Mulebuy users are in now, which is why this site treats closed agents and Mulebuy the same way.

The agent is gone; the marketplace listing usually is not.

Rescuing a ACBuy spreadsheet, step by step

  1. Collect the link column of your Mulebuy sheet in one copy.
  2. Run it through the converter. It recognises ACBuy links and returns the original listing.
  3. Spot-check a handful of rows on your new agent: sellers re-list items and change size options.
  4. Keep the raw Taobao, Weidian and 1688 links next to the old ones in your sheet.

Expect gaps. Sheets made for ACBuy before it stopped may be a year or more old, and some sellers will have removed or changed listings. The guide to old spreadsheets explains what to recheck.

Where former ACBuy users go

There is no single successor. Buyers who want a familiar spreadsheet experience tend to choose Kakobuy or Joyagoo; those who want an agent with formal written terms often pick Superbuy; French buyers lean towards Lovegobuy and BBDBuy. Avoid moving to Mulebuy, which buyers have reported as not shipping since mid-August 2026, or to Hoobuy, which now shows similar warnings. Compare a real parcel on two agents with the alternatives guide and check dated statuses on the status board.

Former ACBuy buyers in the EU should also budget for the €3 per-category duty introduced in July 2026, which did not exist when most ACBuy sheets were made; the duty calculator shows what an old ACBuy haul would cost to land today.

Why people still search for ACBuy

ACBuy still draws about 117,900 searches a month worldwide, mainly from the US (19%), Brazil (15%), the UK (15%). Most of that comes from old bookmarks, spreadsheet rows and videos that predate its closure. If you landed here from one of those, the short answer is: do not try to order through ACBuy, do not trust sites claiming to be its successor unless you can verify them, and convert any links you want to keep.

Money or items left behind

A closed agent's warehouse is the hard case. If you had paid items or a balance at ACBuy, gather order numbers, receipts and screenshots, send a written request to any contact address the agent still lists, and ask your card issuer or PayPal about a dispute. Their deadlines are counted from the payment date, so act quickly. Be wary of anyone offering to recover ACBuy funds for a fee; closure periods attract scams.

Disputes through your payment provider are the realistic route for money left at a closed agent.

Lessons for your next agent

  • Test support with a size question before a big order.
  • Write down the return window; Mulebuy's five days caught many buyers out.
  • Use trial packing on bulky parcels so the shipping quote matches the box.
  • Keep stays short: the less time items sit with any agent, the less you can lose.

Keep a raw-link column in every sheet you use. When ACBuy closed, buyers with raw links lost nothing but their account; buyers with only ACBuy links had to convert everything first.
