代办 and 代理

代办 and 代理
dàibàn and dàilǐ

代办 sometimes is a noun and means “chargé d'affaires”, such as 临时代办 línshídàibàn.
代理 is a verb, which can be used with a noun to form an official title, e.g. 代理部长 dàilǐ bùzhǎng, 代理处长 dàilǐ chùzhǎng.

Both 代办(v)and 代理(v) mean “to do something for somebody else”, e.g.代办托运dàibàn tuōyùn (consign),代办邮购dàibàn yóugòu (undertake commission for a mail-order).
(1) 我不在的时候,一切事情都交由你代办
(2) 你身体不好,这个项目就交给我代办吧。

代理 is to do something officially for somebody else: that is, to be authorized to act for somebody else, such as in lawsuits, tax payment, commerce, etc.:
(3) 这家公司宣告破产之后,一切事宜由那个律师事务所代理

Moreover, the object of 代办 is business or work, while the object of 代理 can also be the post or position.
(4) 他委托我代办图书邮购的手续。

“代办”有时是名词,有其特定含义:一个国家以外交部长名义派另外一国的外事代表官员;或指派驻他国的使馆中,当大使、公使不在职时,在外事官员中临时委任的负责人员(叫“临时代办”。)
“代理”是动词,并可与名词构成表示一定职务的词组,如:“代理部长”、“代理处长”。
“代办(动)”和“代理(动)”都有替别人做事的意思。“代办”除了较特殊的“邮政代办所”以外,一般指替别人做较具体的事情,如“代办托运”、“代办邮购”。
“代理”则一般表示替别人做较正式的事,是指受当事人委托或授权,代表当事人正式活动,如诉讼、税务、贸易等。
另外,“代办”的宾语是事务,“代理”的宾语还可以是职务。
