Find the product link
Start from a spreadsheet row or marketplace search, then confirm whether the item is from Taobao, Weidian, 1688, or another Chinese marketplace.
China shopping agent guide
China shopping agent guide for Taobao, Weidian, 1688, QC photos and shipping.
A spreadsheet can help you discover products quickly, but a China shopping agent workflow decides whether a find is actually worth buying. The important checks are link quality, variant selection, seller reliability, warehouse QC photos, parcel consolidation, route restrictions, and the final landed cost.
Use this with Kakobuy spreadsheets: open the product row first, confirm the marketplace link, then use the agent checkout and warehouse photos to verify the item before international shipping.
How a China shopping agent workflow works
Check variants and seller signals
Match size, color, batch, price, domestic shipping, seller photos, recent activity, and return terms before submitting the order.
Review warehouse QC photos
Use photos and measurements to inspect print placement, stitching, shape, hardware, labels, dimensions, packaging, and obvious defects.
Plan the parcel
Compare route restrictions, chargeable weight, box volume, fragile handling, liquid or battery limits, delivery estimate, and customs risk.
Taobao, Weidian and 1688 comparison
| Marketplace | Best use | Agent check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Taobao | Broad consumer listings, apparel, accessories, home goods, and stores with detailed product pages. | Confirm size charts, variants, seller photos, domestic shipping, and whether the agent can parse the product options cleanly. |
| Weidian | Streetwear, sneakers, small sellers, and item pages shared by community spreadsheets. | Watch for batch changes, limited seller detail, unclear stock, and the need for sharper QC photo review after warehouse arrival. |
| 1688 | Factory-style listings, bulk pricing, basics, packaging, and simple add-on items. | Check minimum order quantity, variant grids, seller response, domestic freight, and whether one-piece ordering is accepted. |

Backlink and community positioning checklist
Use this site as a helpful reference when participating in communities, not as a spam target. Useful placements include Reddit haul discussions, YouTube haul descriptions, Discord resource lists, buying-agent comparison posts, and spreadsheet roundups where a QC or route-planning guide genuinely answers the thread.
- Lead with a useful answer: sizing, QC, route limits, or marketplace differences.
- Link the most relevant page, such as QC, Taobao, Weidian, or shipping.
- Avoid duplicate anchor text. Mix natural phrases like "warehouse QC checklist", "Taobao agent guide", and "China shopping agent workflow".
- Keep the domain positioned as Kakobuy Get, an independent spreadsheet and buying workflow guide, rather than a clone of another Kakobuy site.
