A young Chinese woman earns A $90,000 a year by buying products such as milk powder and vitamins at Australian supermarkets and selling them to China, the Daily Mail reported.
It is reported that in 2014, Serra (Molder Sayrao) came to Sydney's Macquarie University (Macquarie University) to study, and gradually become a purchasing agent, profitable.
At first, her family asked her to send something home. But as the news spread, more and more people were looking for her to buy things. Soon, Scylla set up a purchasing agent business through social app. She now has more than 1500 clients, sends four to five parcels a week, nearly 1000, and earns a profit of about A $1700.
She not only makes a lot of money from the purchasing agent business, but also does not need much time to spend in this area. With another full-time job, she needs only a few hours of spare time a week to buy goods specified by her client. She pointed out that most of the goods customers wanted were milk powder, diapers, baby lotions and so on, while others wanted to buy vitamin products for their elders.
She also said she would now buy goods from AuMake, a chain of purchasing agents, which would simplify the process by simply handing the order to the merchant, which would be convenient for her to pack and mail all her goods.

In fact, in recent years, Chinese customers in Australia to buy such products caused more and more controversy.
Earlier, there were many photos and videos showing some Chinese customers emptied infant milk powder from supermarkets. Some are full of shopping carts, others are full of carriages, and many are waiting outside the door long before the store opens, hoping to get milk powder.
Coles and Woolworths have taken steps to limit the amount of milk powder they buy, but some have responded by buying it multiple times, or by going directly to Costco supermarkets.
In addition, there are warehouses in Australia full of baby milk powder purchased directly from manufacturers, most of which will be sold to China for up to eight times the original price.
It is reported that there are more than 80, 000 purchasing agents in Australia, many of whom earn a profit of up to one hundred thousand Australian dollars a year.
