LitBuy link converter
The LitBuy link converter takes a link from any other agent (Kakobuy, Sugargoo, Superbuy and the rest) or a raw Taobao, Weidian or 1688 link, and gives you the LitBuy link for the same item. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
The link above opens on LitBuy; ordering it takes a free LitBuy account.
How the LitBuy link converter works
A LitBuy product link is the marketplace plus the item number: product/weidian/<id> for Weidian, with numbered paths for Taobao (1) and 1688 (0). Paste a link from any other agent and the converter rebuilds it in that shape.
An agent link is a wrapper around a marketplace listing. This agent link converter unwraps whatever you paste back to the original Taobao, Weidian or 1688 listing, then rebuilds it in LitBuy's own format. The item and the seller are the same either way; only the agent doing the buying changes. LitBuy links look like www.litbuy.com/product/weidian/….
A worked example
A worked example from this spreadsheet: the Essentials Hoodie listing
on Weidian, weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7652600359, becomes litbuy.com/product/weidian/7652600359 on LitBuy:
the same seller and the same item, with only the agent doing the buying changed.
Once it is converted, the QC finder can show you what other buyers received for it. Open the QC finder.

Short links and app-share links hide the item number behind a redirect. Open one in a browser first, then paste the full address from the address bar.
Link converter: questions
Does the converter keep someone else's referral code?
No. Referral codes inside a link you paste are stripped out, and the converted link carries this site's own code instead (that is how the site is paid; your price is the same). The item is the same listing either way.
How do I convert a link to LitBuy?
Paste the product link into the box on this page. The converter unwraps it to the original Taobao, Weidian or 1688 listing and rebuilds that listing as a LitBuy link, ready to open.
Why didn't my link convert?
Shortened or app-share links hide the item number behind a redirect. Open the link once in a browser and paste the full address from the address bar instead.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The link is read in your browser as you paste it; nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to open the result.
