How to Use the GTBuy Spreadsheet
The GTBuy spreadsheet is the heart of the W2C community's product discovery workflow. It's a community-maintained list of recommended products, organized by category, with direct links to Weidian listings. Instead of scrolling through thousands of Weidian pages, the spreadsheet gives you a curated shortcut to proven items with community-verified quality.
Finding Products by Category
The best way to use the spreadsheet is to start with a category. Shoes, hoodies, T-shirts, jerseys, and accessories each have their own sections. Look for products marked with high sort levels or many reviews — these are typically the most reliable batches that experienced buyers have already tested.
Reading Product Listings
Each spreadsheet entry includes the product name, brand, Weidian item ID, approximate CNY price, and sometimes batch notes. Click through to this directory to see QC photo previews and agent links before committing to an order.
Pro tip: Always search the W2C subreddit or Discord for the specific product's Weidian ID before ordering. Community members often share recent QC batches that confirm current quality levels.
GTBuy QC Photos: What to Check Before Approving
Quality control photos are photographs taken by GTBuy staff of your actual item after it arrives at their warehouse. These are your last chance to verify the product matches what you ordered before it ships internationally. Never skip QC review — it's the most important step in the entire process.
Key Things to Check in QC Photos
- Stitching quality and logo placement
- Color accuracy compared to retail reference images
- Box, tags, and accessories included
- Sole shape and texture for shoes
- Font accuracy on graphic tees and hoodies
