Which Payment Methods Does Superbuy Accept?
Superbuy supports major credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), PayPal, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and bank transfers. Reddit users recommend linking PayPal for smoother refunds. Non-Chinese cards sometimes trigger fraud alerts – contacting customer service beforehand helps.
How to Avoid Currency Conversion Fees
Reddit’s r/Superbuy community suggests paying in CNY when possible. One user reported saving 3% by using Wise instead of PayPal’s conversion. Enable multi-currency cards if available.
