Four marketplaces LitBuy buys from directly
| Marketplace | Route into LitBuy | LitBuy link code | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taobao (and Tmall) | Paste link or search | 1 | Taobao rows |
| Weidian | Paste link | 2 | Weidian rows |
| 1688 | Paste link or search | 0 | 1688 rows |
| JD | Paste link | 3 | covered on the Taobao page |
| Yupoo albums | Find the shop behind the album, else Fill & Buy | – | Yupoo rows |
For these sources the spreadsheet row is simply a shortcut: the link converter turns any of the four marketplace links into a LitBuy link and back. What changes the final price is the parcel, so the LitBuy shipping cost tables matter more than which marketplace a row came from.
Taobao, Weidian, 1688 and JD rows open straight in LitBuy; everything else needs a detour or a different shop.
Retailers that ship to you themselves
A second group of "spreadsheets" lists products from platforms that already sell internationally. LitBuy states it cannot buy from cross-border shopping platforms, and there is rarely a reason to: these retailers deliver to Germany, France, the US and the UK on their own terms. Their pages on this site explain what such a sheet usually is, which columns it needs and when a LitBuy parcel would still make sense.
If a platform ships to your country itself, compare its delivered price with a LitBuy parcel before adding a warehouse in between.
The Fill & Buy route and its trade-offs
LitBuy's Fill & Buy page names Xianyu, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Pinduoduo, Dewu, Youzan and Yupoo as sources it handles by hand. You enter the link, a product name, notes, price in CNY, quantity and the seller's domestic shipping; if the price is unknown you can enter a placeholder and staff confirm the difference. LitBuy's disclaimer on that page is blunt: returns without a quality or seller problem are not accepted, extra service fees may apply, and it "cannot verify the quality or authenticity of the products". Our LitBuy ordering guide covers the form step by step.
Use Fill & Buy for items you can't get elsewhere, and accept that the return safety net is thinner.
Which spreadsheet type you are probably holding
Sheets labelled "LitBuy spreadsheet" on Reddit and Discord are often Weidian-heavy finds lists, though we hold no count. Sheets with "AliExpress", "Temu" or "Amazon" in the name are usually price trackers or seller templates rather than agent sheets. If you want to keep your own list in a form that works with LitBuy, the LitBuy spreadsheet template has a platform column and builds the LitBuy link from the item number, and the LitBuy spreadsheet homepage shows which categories cost what to ship. Agents other than LitBuy are listed with their status on the agent hub.
Read the platform column first: it tells you whether a row belongs in a LitBuy parcel at all.
Marketplace questions from LitBuy buyers
Which marketplace do most LitBuy spreadsheet rows come from?
We hold no count, though sheets lean on Weidian and Taobao with fewer 1688 rows. In LitBuy's own link format every row opens as litbuy.com/product/ followed by a marketplace code, 1 for Taobao and 2 for Weidian, and the item number. When we loaded a Taobao item through that format on 19 October 2026 it showed the seller's CNY price and a warehouse arrival date, so these rows are ordinary marketplace listings bought on your behalf.
Can LitBuy buy from AliExpress, Temu or SHEIN?
No. LitBuy's own how-to guide says it cannot purchase items from cross-border shopping platforms, and those three already sell and ship internationally themselves. Their prices usually include delivery or carry their own shipping fees, so routing them through a Chinese warehouse would add a second international leg. Buy those items on the platform itself and compare the delivered price with a LitBuy parcel.
What is Fill & Buy, and when do I need it?
Fill & Buy is LitBuy's form for links it cannot open automatically, such as Yupoo albums, Xianyu or Goofish, Xiaohongshu, Pinduoduo and Dewu. You paste the link, enter the price, quantity and seller shipping, and staff confirm the order. LitBuy warns these orders may carry extra service fees, cannot be returned without a quality problem, and that it cannot verify quality or authenticity.
Is Joybuy the same as JoyaBuy?
No. Joybuy is JD.com's own European online shop, launched on 16 March 2026 in the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg according to Retail Insight Network, which ships to you directly. JoyaBuy was a shopping agent that renamed itself JoyaGoo in March 2025. The similar names cause confusion in searches; our Joybuy page explains the difference and links to the JoyaGoo and JoyaBuy agent pages.
Which marketplace spreadsheet is searched most?
DHgate, by far: the agent keyword file we use shows about 17,300 global monthly searches for DHgate spreadsheet, against 3,200 each for Hacoo and Taobao, 1,000 for AliExpress and 650 for Weidian. DHgate is a retailer that ships abroad itself, so its rows rarely belong in a LitBuy parcel. For LitBuy, Taobao and Weidian sheets are the ones that matter in practice.
