LitBuy Source Links Guide
Source links are the product routes a shopper checks before placing a LitBuy order. They may point to a live product page, a category route, a seller page, or a spreadsheet row that leads to Taobao, Weidian, 1688, JD, or another supported marketplace. This guide explains how to verify those links before ordering.
Use source links to move from a LitBuy find or spreadsheet row to the live listing details that matter before checkout.
Confirm price, stock, color, size, domestic shipping, seller notes, product photos, and return terms before submitting the item.
Use warehouse QC photos to compare the received item against the original source link and your order notes.
What counts as a source link?
A source link is the original route behind a product idea. For LitBuy shoppers, that usually means a product URL, seller page, store route, or marketplace listing that gives enough information to decide whether the item is worth ordering. A spreadsheet entry is useful only when the source link still works and still matches the item label.
Source link checklist
- Open the current listing. Check that the source link still loads and points to the expected product, not a removed item or unrelated page.
- Confirm item options. Match product title, color, size, quantity, batch, version, and any seller remarks before placing the LitBuy order.
- Check price and stock. Product price, domestic shipping, coupons, and stock can change after a spreadsheet row is saved.
- Review seller information. Look for clear product photos, recent listing updates, return terms, measurements, material notes, and packaging details.
- Save context for QC photos. Keep the source link and order notes so warehouse QC photos can be compared against the intended item.
Taobao, Weidian and 1688 source links
Taobao source links
Check variant selectors, size charts, seller photos, item remarks, domestic shipping, and whether the listing has enough detail for a first order.
Weidian source links
Pay close attention to batch notes, store context, product albums, size options, and seller updates because listing detail can vary widely.
1688 source links
Check minimum order rules, color and size options, factory photos, domestic shipping, and whether the product is suitable for individual buying.
Spreadsheet source links
Treat every spreadsheet route as a starting point. Verify the live source before paying, then use QC photos before shipping internationally.
Source links and QC photos
The source link gives the expectation; QC photos show what reached the warehouse. Before shipping, compare the warehouse photos with the product title, color, size, labels, visible details, and seller images from the source link. If the QC photos show a mismatch, request support before submitting the international parcel.
