Oopbuy Spreadsheet catalogue: finds by category, next to Oopbuy's own shelves
Sixteen aisles of finds that point to sellers on Taobao, Weidian and 1688, and the reasons a find behaves differently from a product on an Oopbuy house shelf.

How a catalogue find differs from a house-shelf card
A find in the catalogue is a pointer. It shows a product photo and a short title, and behind it sits one seller's product page on Taobao, Weidian or 1688. Oopbuy has nothing to do with that listing until you paste its link into Oopbuy and pay. From then on the agent-order rules in Oopbuy's help centre apply: the five-day return window after an item is stocked in, the free inspection photos, ninety days of free storage.
A house-shelf card is the other way round. Oopbuy lists it, prices it in your display currency and decorates it with its own labels. You cannot click through to an original seller page, and the rules after payment are not written down in any place we checked: not in the 211 help articles, not in the Terms of Service, and the product pages did not open for us without an account.
That does not make one better than the other. It means the questions differ. With a find you vet a seller. With a shelf card you ask Oopbuy what its label commits it to, and get the answer in writing.
The sixteen aisles
Each card opens a category page of finds. The women's card runs a keyword search instead of opening one category, because the catalogue sorts by product type, not by who wears it.
JewelryPendants, chains and rings, where the clasp photo matters more than the hero shot.Category
BagsTotes, clutches and backpacks. Ask for the strap and zip close-ups before you pay.Category
TeesPlain and printed T-shirts; fabric weight is the line worth reading twice.Category
WatchesQuartz and automatic pieces. The warehouse checks the outside only, not the movement.Category
Caps and beaniesKnit and peaked styles; a one-size label still deserves a look at the band.Category
Glasses and sunglassesFrames and shades, the same family that filled the New In shelf on November 10.Category
BeltsBuckles and straps. Length is the size that goes wrong most often.Category
FragranceBottles and gift sets. Liquids are restricted on many lines, so check routes first.Category
SneakersRunners and court shoes. Compare the insole length, not the size label.Category
Hoodies and sweatsPullovers and zip-ups, with the chest width as the number to check.Category
Coats and jacketsPuffers, shells and bombers. Heavy coats add the most to a parcel.Category
DenimStraight, loose and cropped jeans; waist and inseam beat S, M or L.Category
JoggersFleece and track trousers, sold mostly by waist range.Category
Team jerseysFootball, basketball and retro shirts, often listed with a name and number option.Category
Women's picksA search across dresses, tops and sets rather than one fixed category.Search results

Reading a catalogue card before you copy the link
A catalogue card gives you three things: a photo, a title and a destination. The photo is the seller's, so it shows the product at its most flattering. The title is often machine-translated Chinese, which is why words like versatile, trendy and ins pile up. The destination is the part that matters, because it decides which platform's habits you inherit.
- Taobao links come from a huge retail market where, in Oopbuy's own guide, seller reputation varies and some sellers inflate their ratings. Read the shop's age and its reviews with photos.
- 1688 links come from a wholesale market. Oopbuy's registration agreement has a section called 1688 Product Purchase Service Rules saying the quality of 1688 products is not related to Oopbuy, that it offers only limited sampling and limited after-sales, and that the buyer bears the risk.
- Weidian links come from small shops, often run through a phone. Oopbuy lists Weidian among the links its search bar accepts.
Then open the listing itself and check the size chart, the colour names and the stock against the photo before you pay. Picking sellers and items goes through this in order.
When the same kind of product sits on both
Some product types turn up in the catalogue and on a house shelf in the same week. On November 10, 2026 the New In shelf was mostly sunglasses and belts, two aisles this catalogue also carries. The Mall Recommend grid was full of padded jackets and hoodies, which are aisles here too.
When you see a similar item in both places, compare what you can verify rather than the headline price. The catalogue find lets you read the seller's own listing, sales and reviews. The shelf item gives you a dollar price and Oopbuy's labels, and nothing else you can open. A New In card with a title still in Chinese is usually a listing that came from a Chinese source with no editing on the way.
Price comparisons across the two are rough at best. The shelf price is already converted; the catalogue price is in yuan and goes through Oopbuy's own rate when you pay. Our fees page explains where the two numbers part ways.
Oopbuy's own search words, and ours
Oopbuy's homepage keeps a short list of suggested searches. On November 10, 2026 it read: Shoes, Jeans, Shorts, Men's T-shirt, Hoodie, Watch and Sweatshirt, with the first four flagged as hot. They are a fair guide to what people type, and every one of them maps to an aisle here: sneakers, denim, tees, hoodies and watches.
Our homepage search understands plain English nouns. Short nouns work better than long phrases: belt finds more than black leather belt for men, and you can narrow down on the results page. For women's clothing, try dress or cardigan rather than the general women's card when you know the item.
