What is a Litbuy Spreadsheet?
A "Litbuy Spreadsheet" is not one official file — it is how beginners describe using a product-discovery spreadsheet (here, W2CSpreadsheet) together with the Litbuy shopping agent. Discovery finds the item; Litbuy buys and ships it.
Spark notes
A “Litbuy Spreadsheet” is not one official file — it is the two-job workflow of finding an item on a product-discovery spreadsheet (here, W2CSpreadsheet), then pasting its link into the Litbuy agent to buy and ship it.
- Spreadsheet = discovery: what to buy and where; it never takes your money.
- Litbuy = the agent: it buys from Taobao, Weidian, 1688 or Tmall, does QC, and ships worldwide.
- The spreadsheet price is only an anchor — the real price, fees and shipping are set inside Litbuy.
- You will meet three link types: category, search and single item.
Two words, two jobs
Newcomers hear "spreadsheet" and "agent" together and assume they are the same thing. They are not, and understanding the split is the fastest way to stop feeling lost:
The spreadsheet = discovery
A spreadsheet like W2CSpreadsheet is a curated list of items with pictures, categories and links. It answers “what should I buy and where is it?” It does not take your money.
Litbuy = buying & shipping
Litbuy is the shopping agent. It buys the item from the Chinese seller, inspects it, stores it, and ships it to your country. It answers “how do I actually get it?”
"Litbuy Spreadsheet" meaning, in one line
Litbuy Spreadsheet = discovering products on a spreadsheet such as W2CSpreadsheet, then pasting the link into Litbuy to buy from Taobao, Weidian, 1688 or Tmall and ship worldwide.
Why beginners use a spreadsheet at all
- 1Chinese marketplaces are hard to browse
Search is in Chinese, apps block foreign accounts, and listings vanish. A spreadsheet keeps working links in one place.
- 2Categories make it fast
You jump straight to sneakers, hoodies or bags instead of hunting keywords you cannot type.
- 3It is honest about its job
The spreadsheet shows you the item and hands off to the agent. It never claims to hold stock or set the final price.
Why discovery and buying stay separate
This is the single idea that saves beginners the most money and stress. The spreadsheet shows an item and an approximate look, but the final price, stock, service fee and shipping are decided on the Litbuy side after you paste the link. A listing can sell out, a seller can change a price, and shipping depends on weight and destination. Treat the spreadsheet as a menu, not a receipt.
Do not assume the spreadsheet price is final. Always confirm the real item price, service fee and shipping estimate inside Litbuy before you pay.
How the links work
On W2CSpreadsheet you will meet three kinds of links, and each does one job:
| Link type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Category | Opens a whole section, e.g. sneakers or bags. |
| Search | Finds items by keyword, e.g. a hoodie search. |
| Item | Opens a single product you then paste into Litbuy to buy. |
The kinds of finds you will meet
A spreadsheet is not just clothes. On W2CSpreadsheet you can browse most categories overseas shoppers hunt for through an agent:
Everyday wear
Sneakers, hoodies, tees, jackets, jeans and hats — the bulk of most first hauls.
Bags & accessories
Totes, backpacks, belts, watches, eyewear and jewelry — check dimensions and hardware.
Extras
Perfume, earphones and small electronics — mind restricted-item and shipping-line rules.
Best batch — a first look
You will quickly hear the word batch. A batch is a specific factory run of a popular item, and different batches can differ in quality, materials and price. Beginners do not need to master this on day one, but knowing it exists stops you from assuming every listing of “the same shoe” is identical. When you are ready, read how to find the best batch.
Rule of thumb: compare a few listings of the same item, read the QC photos, and pick the seller with the clearest, most consistent results — not just the lowest price.
