What a FishGoo order costs, and which currency the numbers are in
FishGoo's own formula, the fees that sit outside it, and why this site quotes freight in yuan.
FishGoo's three-line fee formula
FishGoo's Service & Fee Instruction page, last edited on 28 September 2026, writes the cost of an order in three lines. Purchase cost equals product cost plus international shipping. Product cost covers the item's price and the seller's courier fee within mainland China up to FishGoo's warehouse. International transit is the freight plus value-added services, which are optional.
There is no separate line for a buying service fee, which is the basis for the claim, seen elsewhere, that FishGoo charges no service fee. Put more carefully: the formula lists none, while value-added services and payment channels still cost money. The page sends you to the help centre for value-added service prices, and on 9 November 2026 the help centre had no page listing them.
For the overdue share the line that matters is international freight, because every share on the eight on-time lines is a percentage of it.
The estimator shows how that freight is built. For 1 kg on the German on-time line on 9 November 2026 it listed a first-weight charge of CNY 152.00 for the first 500 g, a continued-weight charge of CNY 44.80 for the next 500 g and an operation fee of CNY 30.00, CNY 226.80 in all at the campaign price. Oil surcharge, customs fee and remote-area fee all showed zero for that query. The Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Polish cards showed no operation fee; the UK card showed CNY 40.00.
Balance, PayPal, Alipay or card at FishGoo
The payment page lists four ways to pay: account balance, PayPal, Alipay (spelt "Ailpay" on the page) and card. The last three carry a service fee based on the amount paid, and FishGoo recommends paying from balance to avoid conversion losses.
Paying from balance has a side benefit for this guide's subject: FishGoo's refund rules send money back to the balance, so a refunded overdue share, a cancelled order or a seller refund lands in the same place you paid from. The page does not say whether a balance can be withdrawn, so plan to spend it on the next order.
Topping up the balance works through PayPal or an international card; FishGoo names Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB. A PayPal top-up costs 7% + $0.30 according to the page, and PayPal payments are converted and processed in USD or EUR, whatever your own currency is.
New accounts receive shipping coupons. FishGoo's notice of 15 April 2026 puts the welcome package at $500 in coupon face value; the coupons cover international freight and value-added services, one per parcel, so read them as a discount on freight rather than cash.
Yuan prices, display rates and what your bank charges
FishGoo's prices are set in yuan. The currency switch at the top of the site redraws them in one of 26 display currencies, and on 9 November 2026 it counted CNY 1 as GBP 0.1218, EUR 0.1441 and USD 0.1607. At those figures the UK line's 1 kg quote of CNY 135.40 shows as about £16.49, and the German line's CNY 226.80 as about €32.68.
Those are display conversions. What leaves your account depends on how you pay: a card or PayPal converts at its own rate, and PayPal settles in USD or EUR. A third-party measurement table dated 2 October 2026 put FishGoo's all-in markup at about 7.3%, all of it in the exchange rate; treat that as one dated reading, not a fixed rule.
This site gives prices in yuan, with sterling or euro only as FishGoo's own display conversion on the day, so the numbers can always be checked against FishGoo.
FishGoo storage: In Storage plus 100 days
Bought or forwarded items can stay in FishGoo's warehouse for up to 100 days from the status In Storage. Packages that cannot be matched to an order (signed in before an order existed, or missing shipping information) get 30 days from Signed In.
After that, items are treated as abandoned and disposed of. FishGoo says plainly that no notification is sent first. An Extended Storage Service can be bought before the period ends; its price is not published.
For a haul you are building over weeks, the first item's clock is the one to watch. Ship it, or extend, before day 100.
Storage also sits outside the overdue clock. FishGoo's Logistics Policy says packing takes about one to two days after you ask for delivery, and the on-time notes start counting at shipment, so neither the storage days nor the packing days count towards a threshold.
