Every row in the Oopbuy Spreadsheet ends in an Oopbuy product link, but you will also find items yourself: a Taobao listing a friend shared, a 1688 factory page, a Weidian store from a social post or a Pinduoduo deal. Knowing how to turn those into Oopbuy links, check them and keep them organised saves time and prevents mistakes. This guide covers all four platforms. For the bigger picture, see the marketplace guide on the Oopbuy Spreadsheet homepage.
What an Oopbuy Product Link Is
An Oopbuy product link is a page on Oopbuy that shows a listing from an original marketplace. It translates the text into English, converts the price into your currency and shows every available option. Behind the page is a reference to the original listing, which identifies the product. Because the page is live, price and stock are current, and if the seller removes the listing, the link stops working.
Converting a Marketplace URL
The basic method is the same for every platform:
- Copy the full URL of the listing from the marketplace or from wherever it was shared.
- Paste it into the search bar on Oopbuy.
- Oopbuy reads the listing reference and opens the product page.
- Copy the clean address from your browser to save it.
If a long URL does not work, remove the tracking parameters at the end and try again. Shared links from apps sometimes include extra text; keep only the web address.
Platform Notes
| Platform | What to check after converting |
|---|---|
| Taobao | Detail images for the size chart; compare with similar listings |
| 1688 | Price tiers and any minimum order quantity |
| Weidian | Store consistency, real photos, processing time |
| Pinduoduo | That the link opens at all; photos and specifications |
Agent support for each marketplace can change over time, so if a link from any platform will not open, look for a similar item in the relevant spreadsheet category instead.
Links From Mobile Apps
Links shared from marketplace apps often arrive as a block of text with an embedded address, a short code or an invitation message. Extract only the web address before pasting it into Oopbuy. If the shared text does not contain a normal web address, open it in a browser first to get the full listing URL. Saving that clean address avoids confusion later, when you return to your list to place an order.
It also helps to test a converted link once more on the day you order, since app-shared links sometimes point to promotions that expire.
The One-Minute Check
- Does the page load?
- Do the photos match what you expected?
- Can you select your size and color?
- Is there a size chart or clear specifications?
- Is the price reasonable and, for 1688, for the quantity you want?
Five yeses mean the link is ready to use. Two or more noes mean you should look elsewhere.
Links You Should Not Trust
Be cautious with links that open a completely different product, listings reusing one photo across many items, shortened links from unknown sources and any page asking you to log in somewhere unfamiliar. Close those and use the official Oopbuy site only.

Oopbuy Spreadsheet Buy It NowSaving Links Properly
A link without context is easy to forget. For each item, save:
- The Oopbuy product link
- The source platform (Taobao, 1688, Weidian or Pinduoduo)
- The category, such as Shoes or T-Shirts
- Your size and color
- Whether it is light, medium or heavy
Recording the platform helps you plan: 1688 items may need quantity checks, Weidian items may take longer to arrive and Pinduoduo items deserve extra attention in QC.
Organising by Category
Group saved links using the spreadsheet’s categories: Hoodies/Sweaters, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Accessories and Other Stuff. Organised this way, your list becomes a parcel plan rather than a random collection.
Finding the Same Item on Several Platforms
It is common to see similar products on Taobao, 1688 and Pinduoduo at different prices. Before choosing, compare the listings side by side: photos, size charts, materials and price for the quantity you want. Sometimes the 1688 factory listing is the cheapest source; sometimes a Taobao store offers better photos and a clearer chart that are worth a small premium. Saving the platform next to each link makes these comparisons easy later.
If two links seem to show the identical product, look closely at labels, stitching and hardware in the photos. Small differences often reveal different factories or versions, and the listing with clearer information is usually the safer choice.
Why Prices Change
Currency conversion and seller updates both affect prices. On 1688, the price can also change with quantity. Small differences are normal; a large jump is worth a closer look before ordering.
Sharing Links
Share live links, not screenshots. A screenshot cannot show current stock, price or sizes. For group orders, keep a shared list with each person’s size and agree who checks which QC photos.
Next Steps
Once your links are clean, plan the parcel with the mixed haul guide. For platform-specific advice, read the Oopbuy 1688 guide, the Oopbuy Weidian guide and the Oopbuy Pinduoduo guide. Browse every category from the Oopbuy Spreadsheet homepage.
