About LitBuy with QC

What this site is, where its finds and QC photos come from, and how it pays for itself.

The short version

LitBuy with QC is an independent spreadsheet for people who shop through LitBuy. It is not run by LitBuy and is not affiliated with it. Ordering, payment, warehouse photos and shipping all happen on litbuy.com; this site is where you find what to order and check what other buyers received first.

Where the Buy buttons go

The Buy buttons go to litbuy.com and nowhere else. LitBuy addresses a listing by marketplace and item number, so a Weidian find becomes litbuy.com/product/weidian/…, Taobao litbuy.com/product/1/… and 1688 litbuy.com/product/0/…, plus a referral code, which is how the site is paid.

How the site makes money

The LitBuy links here include a referral code, so the site may earn a commission when you sign up or order through them. You pay exactly the same either way. Nothing on the spreadsheet is sponsored or ranked for money, and the tools need no account.

How the catalog is kept

A find that a catalog rebuild retires keeps its old address working: it redirects to the live listing of the same product, where one exists.

Where the QC photos come from

QC photos shown here come from public databases of warehouse photos. Because they belong to the seller's listing, not to any one agent, photos from buyers on other agents tell you just as much about what the seller is shipping. 1667 finds on this spreadsheet have photos on record right now; the rest are checked live when you open them. Photos are resized and served by this site, and the source databases' own watermarks are covered.

Where the listings come from

Every one of the 9,384 finds is a real Weidian listing, shown with what its seller published: photos, colourways, sizes and price. Prices are not a live feed, so check the current price on LitBuy before paying.

Corrections

A listing on litbuy.com always outranks this page: if the two disagree on a price or on whether an item still exists, LitBuy is right, and the next rebuild of the spreadsheet catches up.

Sellers list on Weidian, Taobao and 1688; the finds on this spreadsheet are all Weidian listings.

Browse the LitBuy spreadsheet by category, brand or price. Before ordering anything, run its link through LitBuy QC finder to see what other buyers were sent.
