What's already free
When your item is inspected, OOPbuy takes a standard set of about three photos — front, back, and a side or logo shot — so you can check the item before shipping. Storage during the standard free window is also included. The services below are optional add-ons on top of that.
Value-added services & prices

Fine photography
Fine photography is a personalised service for buyers who need more than the standard inspection shots. Instead of three ordinary photos, you get HD images taken to your exact brief — specific angles, particular details, size measurements and so on. When ordering it, note your shooting requirements clearly (after storage, quote the specific PI product number), and check that the requirements match the number of photos you're buying.
Rehearsal / preview packaging
Preview (rehearsal) packaging tells you a parcel's real weight before you officially submit and pay. Select the orders to preview, choose your intended packing method and route, and add any detail in the remarks. The warehouse runs the preview within 24 hours and pushes the result to the Preview Package section of your account. Submit your real parcel using the same packing method and route you previewed. It costs about 20 RMB per parcel — see also what parcel rehearsal is.
