CNY currency converter

Everything on Taobao, Weidian and 1688 is priced in Chinese yuan, and the number your agent charges you is not the mid-market conversion of it. Convert at the real rate here to see what a listing actually costs before the agent applies their own rate.

Loading live rate…

Live mid-market rate, refreshed hourly. Shopping agents typically add a ~2–5% spread on top when they convert your payment — budget a little extra over this figure.

How it works

  1. Enter the price in yuan as it appears on the listing.
  2. Pick your currency.
  3. Compare the mid-market figure against what your agent quotes to see their spread.

About this tool

The gap is the point. Agents convert at a rate slightly worse than mid-market and keep the difference; it is a quiet fee on top of the service fee, and it is only visible if you know what the honest number was.

Common questions

Why does my agent charge more than this?

Agents convert at their own rate rather than the mid-market rate, and pocket the difference. A spread of one to three percent is normal; much more than that is worth noticing on a large haul.

What rate is this?

The mid-market rate — the midpoint between buy and sell that you see quoted as "the" exchange rate. No bank, card or agent gives you exactly this, which is precisely why it is the right benchmark.

Will my bank charge me on top?

Usually yes, as a foreign transaction fee, and again as a card-network conversion if you pay in a currency your card does not hold. Paying in the agent's billing currency rather than letting the page convert for you is generally cheaper.
