Every UIDBuy Spreadsheet shelf, sorted into three evidence groups

Every catalog shelf we link to, in three groups. Pick a tile to browse that shelf of the catalog, or open a group page for the photo and sizing notes.

Tag-size shelves

The photo confirms the size label. Fit is on you.

Reading the shelves on this site

Each tile is a category of a product catalog: a long, browsable list of items found on Taobao, Weidian and 1688, each showing photos, a yuan price and the address of the source listing. You browse, you find something, and you copy its link into UIDBuy, which buys it for you and ships it on. In this corner of online shopping, that browsable catalog is what people mean by a spreadsheet: shelves of found items with photos and prices, not a file you download.

What we add on top is the grouping. Shelves are sorted by the question a warehouse photo can answer. Clothes and shoes land in tag-size shelves, because the photo confirms the size label but not the fit. Bags, caps, belts, glasses and jewelry land in surface shelves, where the photo does most of the checking. Perfume, watches and electronics land in route-first shelves, where the shipping restriction matters before the photo does.

Three panels: tag-size shelves, surface shelves and route-first shelves, each listing what the warehouse photo confirms and what you still check
Drawn for this site: how the sixteen shelves are grouped, based on UIDBuy's published inspection scope (read October 22, 2026).

Five moves from tile to UIDBuy cart

  1. Browse a shelf, or type into the search box on the home page if you already know the item.
  2. On the listing, read the option menu slowly. The headline price usually belongs to the cheapest option, and option names are often in Chinese.
  3. Copy the original Taobao, Weidian or 1688 link and paste it into UIDBuy's search bar.
  4. Write the measurement or close-up you want into the order remark.
  5. When the inspection photos arrive, compare them against your remark, not against the stock photo.

The short guide covers the same path with UIDBuy's own screenshots, and the buying advice page goes into choosing sellers and listings.

How we picked the sample listings

Group pages show one sample listing per shelf. We read each shelf of the catalog on October 23, 2026, skipped anything already featured on other sites we know of, avoided listings whose title or photo leans on a famous brand name, and picked by eye from what was left. On the perfume, watch and eyewear shelves almost everything carried brand names, so the samples there are collage photos where no single label dominates. A sample is not a recommendation to buy; it is there so the shelf has a face.

Prices are what the catalog showed that day, in Chinese yuan, before UIDBuy's domestic shipping and any international freight.
