A buying agent is to help the buyers to source the right products, inspect and verify the sellers and their products, and supervise the deal until the products are properly shipped, and also help the buyers to claim refund from the sellers in case of quality and/or quantity problems resulted from the sellers' fault.

Replying to [TBTBRASIL]:I wouild prefer a registered company or agent. It is security, trust and somehow legal bound. I would do research about a person and company first before I can commit my £s to the unknown.

Not really. a registered company may provide bad service , even cheat you also . a person maybe help you indeed . it is uncertain sometimes , but just like make friends , you can know a company or person after you reallydeal with them .
Normally, simple cheat can be overseed obviously. But if someone want set up you , then you are difficult to see it .
