Guides: from hub rows to Litbuy parcels

These notes describe the usual agent-shopping split our buyers follow: discover and compare on the spreadsheet hub (MaisonLooks), then run every payment, inspection ticket, and shipment decision inside Litbuy. They are merchant-written tips—not a substitute for Litbuy’s own help center.

Why discovery and checkout live in two places

Chinese marketplaces (Taobao, Weidian, 1688) are built for domestic buyers. A shopping agent such as Litbuy fronts the local payment, receives the parcel at a warehouse in China, photographs it for you, and only then ships internationally. Our Litbuy spreadsheet is the curated front window: rows of links, short notes, and lane tags so you can compare batches before you commit. The agent account is where money moves and where policies apply.

End-to-end steps

  1. Browse the hub — Open the live catalog from Spreadsheet (MaisonLooks). Filter by category, read row notes, and open listings in new tabs if you need size charts or extra photos.
  2. Copy the product URL — Use the canonical marketplace link from the row you want. If a listing 404s, pick another row or ask in Discord; inventory churn is normal.
  3. Submit on Litbuy — Paste the link into Litbuy’s order flow, choose options (size, color), and confirm. Double-check title and seller before you pay.
  4. Fund the order — Top up your Litbuy wallet or pay per checkout, following whatever methods Litbuy currently supports. This site never handles cards or balances.
  5. Wait for arrival & QC — After the domestic leg, Litbuy receives the item and posts warehouse photos. Approve or start a ticket from those images—not from the spreadsheet thumbnail alone.
  6. Ship internationally — When you are happy with QC, submit packing and choose a carrier line to your country. Consolidate multiple items when it saves on postage.

Wallet, fees, and domestic purchase

Agent pricing usually combines item cost, domestic shipping to the warehouse, a service fee, and later international freight. Exact percentages and promotions change—verify inside Litbuy before you fund a haul. Keep a small buffer in your wallet so a restock does not stall a time-sensitive drop.

Chargebacks and disputes

Treat Litbuy as the merchant of record for your order. If something goes wrong after payment, use Litbuy’s ticket system and published policies. We cannot reverse or edit orders from this marketing site.

Warehouse QC vs. seller photos

Rows on the spreadsheet may include seller QC or factory photos. They help you guess fabric weight, logo placement, or batch variance. The inspection that matters for shipping is the set Litbuy shoots under warehouse lighting after the item arrives. If the two disagree, assume the warehouse set is authoritative for accept / reject.

Consolidation and international shipping

Most buyers let several items arrive, then repack into one box to save on volumetric charges. Declare truthfully for customs; your country’s import rules are your responsibility. Storage time limits and fees are defined by Litbuy—check their latest help articles before you pause a haul for weeks.

Common pitfalls

  • Wrong SKU — Taobao and Weidian URLs often encode a specific colorway. Pasting a shortened or stale link can order the wrong variant.
  • Size drift — Factory batches change. A note from six months ago may not match today’s measurement chart.
  • Replicas and restrictions — Some categories are high risk for customs or platform rules. You are responsible for what you submit to Litbuy.
  • “Official spreadsheet” scams — This domain is independent. Only trust payment URLs on litbuy.com (or the agent’s verified domain) for checkout.
