What the BoonBuy spreadsheet is, and how to use it
This board is a curated English list of real listings from five Chinese marketplaces. It is not a shop — nothing is bought here, and no payment is taken. You find something, copy the link, and BoonBuy handles the purchase, inspection and shipping. Understanding that split is most of what you need.

Discovery happens here; fulfilment happens at BoonBuy. Keeping them separate is what keeps the numbers honest.
The two halves of the process
1. This board finds and compares
Browsing, comparing and shortlisting happen here. Nothing is sold.
2. BoonBuy buys, checks and ships
Purchase, inspection, storage, packing and dispatch are BoonBuy's steps, visible in your account.
3. Why the split matters
A price you see here is one you can act on, because the same account can buy from all five sources.
4. Why finding and buying are kept apart
A sheet cannot know a seller's stock this minute, nor your final price, nor the freight to your country — those figures only exist on the buying side, live. So the rule stays simple: discover here, confirm there.
Picking between near-identical links
Most things you want exist under three or four separate links, each with its own seller and its own idea of the price. There is no objectively right one, so put them next to each other and choose.
Different sellers, different prices. Ratings and history narrow it quickly.
Listings using the same studio images are often the same product; different photos usually mean real differences.
Tmall means brand-official; 1688 usually means a minimum. Both are recorded on the row.
Photographs decide whether the row you picked was the right one.
Two columns: promised and confirmed
Two short columns. The first is everything a row is in a position to state. The second is everything that only becomes true once a warehouse opens the parcel.
Look at money and pictures in the same glance. Honest photographs, reasonable number: go ahead. Same photographs, noticeably less money: take it. A single hazy shot at any number: ask before anything else.
