Fatobuy Spreadsheet FAQ
Straight answers for the questions that appear between finding a row and deciding whether it deserves more research.
Before saving a row, finish this sentence:
“This one stays because…”
THE ROW
The short version
Fatobuy.org is an independent guide, not a store or official support page. Use it to understand spreadsheet rows and browsing checks; use the relevant official platform for accounts, orders, payment, shipping and refunds.
01What is a Fatobuy spreadsheet?
It is a structured list for browsing product references, categories, images, price context and links associated with Fatobuy. Use it as a starting index, not as proof that a product, seller or detail has been verified.
02Is this the official Fatobuy website?
No. Fatobuy.org is an independent editorial browsing guide. It does not represent Fatobuy, sell products, process payments, handle orders or provide official support.
03Why do category links open Findsindex?
They open Findsindex because its global category pages can be a useful next browsing step after you have chosen an item type. External pages open in a new tab, and Fatobuy.org does not control their content.
04Should I open every link?
No. Read the row first and open only the links that can answer a specific question about photos, measurements, source relevance, price context or weight.
05What makes a row too weak to save?
A weak row relies on a vague label, mismatched details, unhelpful photos, missing measurements, an isolated price or an unclear destination. If you cannot explain why it deserves saving, remove it for now.
06Why do QC photos matter?
QC photos matter because they can reveal category-specific details that a title or promotional image misses. They support comparison, but they do not guarantee another item or order will match.
07Why does sizing matter?
Sizing matters because labels vary and popularity cannot predict fit. Compare actual measurements, how they were taken and the shape of the item with something you already own.
08Why does shipping weight matter?
Shipping weight matters because item weight, packaging and parcel volume can change the total decision. Any early estimate should remain provisional until current measured details and an official route are available.
09What do Yupoo, Taobao, Weidian and 1688 mean?
They are source-platform terms that can help explain where a row or original link leads. The name of a source does not verify a seller, product or claim.
10What does a link converter do?
It reformats a source address for use on another platform. This site does not provide a converter, and conversion does not verify the destination, seller, selected option or product.
11How can I judge whether a service is trustworthy?
Check the exact domain, current official policies, payment protections available to you and several recent reports with relevant dates and order context. No independent guide or single review can guarantee a seller, platform or future outcome.
12Where should I log in or ask for support?
Use the login and support routes published by the official service you intend to access. Do not enter account details into a page merely because a spreadsheet, review or converted link uses a familiar name.
13Can this site check my order, payment, refund or coupon?
No. Those details are private and account-specific. Use the official platform, payment provider, seller or carrier connected with the transaction, and keep the relevant confirmations.
14What should I check before ordering?
Check the current product and variant, seller information, useful photos, measurements, price context, estimated item and parcel weight, policies and any local rules that apply. This guide does not provide ordering, legal, customs, tax or shipping advice.
15How many items should I compare at one time?
Compare a small batch of similar items—usually four to six—using the same evidence for each. Remove a weak candidate before opening another, and stop when the remaining two or three can be explained clearly.
16What should I do when two pages disagree?
Name the disputed detail and look for one current source that can resolve it. Do not average conflicting size charts, variants, prices or weights. If a critical conflict remains, pause or remove the row.
17How should I record a shortlist?
Give each row a keep, compare or remove status. Add one observed reason, one remaining unknown and the date checked. This is more useful than saving a title or screenshot without context.
18When should I stop researching a product?
Stop when the important questions are answered well enough to compare, or when the remaining uncertainty requires current product or service information that a general guide cannot provide. More repeated pages do not create stronger evidence.
