Guides for the questions a spreadsheet cannot answer
Use these articles when a row looks interesting but the photos, size, source link or browsing format still needs a closer look.
Turn size labels into measurements you can compare
Use a garment you already own, check the measurement method and avoid treating familiar letters as universal sizes.
Read the sizing guide →Understand Taobao, Weidian, 1688 and Yupoo links
See what each source term tells you, what it does not prove and how to spot a destination that no longer matches the row.
Read the source-link guide →Spreadsheet or searchable directory?
Compare the strengths of a sheet and a product directory, then use both without opening dozens of weak or repeated rows.
Compare the two formats →Know whether you are opening a sheet, directory or catalog
See what common buying-agent labels usually mean and which details still need checking before you save a product link.

Turn a long sheet into a short list
A Hoobuy spreadsheet is useful when it helps you move from a broad list of links to a smaller shortlist. Start with the category, check photos, sizing, price context, and shipping weight, then continue only with rows that still make sense.

How to use this site
1
Pick the category first
Define what you are comparing before opening broad Hoobuy links. Similar items expose missing details faster.
2
Compare, do not isolate
One row can look strong alone. Place it beside alternatives and ask which photos, sizing and source clues are actually clearer.
3
Save with a reason
Keep a row only if you can explain why it survived the comparison. Hype and a vague label are not reasons.
A useful row
What makes a find worth saving?
Category fit is the first filter. Then the row needs enough information to support a decision: useful photos, sizing or measurements where relevant, price in context, a sensible weight expectation and source clues that match the item.
A good row does not need to promise perfection. It needs to reduce uncertainty.
- The category is clear
- Photos show decision-making details
- Sizing or measurements are visible
- Price is compared, not judged alone
- Shipping weight is considered
- The source clue is relevant
- There is a reason beyond hype
Search ideas
Use the words that match your question
Begin with the product you want, then add the detail that matters to your next decision. A source name is useful when you need to inspect the original listing, while a photo or shipping term is useful when evidence or delivery is the real concern.
Brand or model wording can narrow a search, but it should not replace product checks. Choose a neutral category first, compare similar rows, and inspect the destination details before treating any name as useful evidence.
