Marketplace Checklist
Taobao Link Review Checklist
| Variant menu | Confirm size, color, version, and any seller option before submission. |
| Seller page | Check whether the shop and product page look active enough to trust as a current source. |
| Size chart | Copy the measurements that matter for the category instead of trusting labels. |
| Product media | Compare seller photos with the spreadsheet note and any QC examples. |
| Order note | Write the selected variant in plain language before paying. |
Taobao links can look simple but hide variant risk
Taobao pages often present multiple options in menus. A spreadsheet row may mention one item, but the source page can include several sizes, colors, versions, or bundles. The buyer has to identify the exact option before submitting the link through LitBuy.
If you cannot tell which option the spreadsheet row means, pause. Guessing at the variant is one of the fastest ways to receive the wrong item.
Use size charts as questions, not proof
A Taobao size chart is useful, but it is still seller-provided information. Copy the relevant measurement into your order note, then request warehouse measurement photos for high-risk categories such as shoes, pants, jackets, hoodies, and jerseys.
This is especially important when the listing uses Asian sizing labels. A letter size is not enough evidence for a final shipping decision.
Compare the seller page with QC photos
When QC photos arrive, compare color, shape, tags, print placement, hardware, and measurements against the Taobao page and your order note. Seller photos can be polished, but warehouse photos show the actual item bought.
If the product looks like a different variant or the measurements do not match your target, do not approve the shipment just because the Taobao link looked correct earlier.
FAQ
Common Questions
Are Taobao links safe to submit through LitBuy?
They can be usable if the variant, source page, price, and QC requirements are clear. They are not automatically safe.
Should I translate the Taobao page?
Yes. Translate enough to understand size, color, bundle, seller notes, and shipping or return limitations.
What should I put in the order note?
Write the exact selected size, color, variant, quantity, and any detail you want checked in QC.
