AllChinaBuy Spreadsheet Categories
Use product type to decide which details deserve attention. Category-first browsing makes missing evidence easier to spot.
Start with the item
Start with the category that matches the item you actually want. Then compare rows inside that category using relevant photos, measurements, source clues, price context, and likely shipping weight.
Why categories matter
A broad AllChinaBuy sheet can mix products with completely different fit, photo, and weight questions. Categories create fairer comparisons.
Sneakers
Useful for: Casual and trainer-style shoes that need several viewing angles.
Check first: Shape from several angles, stitching, labels, size guidance, and packaging weight.
Open sneakers on Findsindex ↗Bags

Check first: Dimensions, strap joins, closures, lining photos, hardware, and material clues.
Open bags on Findsindex ↗Hoodies

Open electronics on Findsindex ↗Which category should you start with?
Begin with the item’s function, not a trend label. Clothing belongs with the closest garment type; footwear belongs in shoes or sneakers; small wearable pieces may fit jewelry or accessories. If a row seems to cross categories, use the one that determines sizing and shipping.
Mistakes to avoid
- Comparing prices across unrelated product types.
- Assuming a thumbnail proves the linked item matches.
- Ignoring measurements for fit-sensitive categories.
- Treating low item weight as guaranteed packed weight.
- Opening every link without a shortlist rule.
Checklist before an external page
Can you name the category, the two details you need from photos, whether sizing matters, and how weight could affect the decision? If not, use the spreadsheet checklist and safety notes first.
