Understanding the ACBuy Dashboard

Your ACBuy dashboard is the control center for all orders. Here is what each section does:

Orders Tab Shows all items you have submitted. Statuses include: "Purchasing" (ACBuy is buying from the seller), "In Warehouse" (arrived, awaiting QC), "QC Ready" (photos uploaded, waiting for your approval), and "Shipped" (on its way to you).

Warehouse Tab Shows items that have arrived at the warehouse but are not yet in a shipping parcel. This is where you review QC photos and decide which items to include in your next shipment.

Parcels Tab Shows shipping parcels you have submitted. Each parcel has a tracking number, carrier, and status updates.

Balance/Wallet Shows your available funds. You deposit money before placing orders, or pay at checkout depending on your account setup.

Common Beginner Questions

How do I know what size to order? Check the ACBuy spreadsheet notes column for batch-specific size charts. When in doubt, size up. Asian sizing typically runs smaller than Western sizing.

What if an item is out of stock? ACBuy will notify you and offer a refund or alternative. Refunds for out-of-stock items are processed within 5–7 business days.

Can I return items after they arrive? International returns are complicated and expensive. This is why QC photos are so important — they are your last chance to catch issues before shipping. Always review QC carefully.

How do I contact ACBuy support? Through the dashboard's support ticket system. Response times are typically 24–48 hours. Reddit threads can also help with common issues faster.
