What an OSSbuy Spreadsheet is, and how to discover finds
An OSSbuy Spreadsheet is not a store and not a file OSSbuy sells you. It is a community-curated directory of product links — most beginners meet it through a browsable site like W2CSpreadsheet. You use it to find an item and copy its seller link; the OSSbuy agent is what actually buys and ships it. This page shows how that discovery step works so the rest of the journey makes sense.
One sentence to remember: the spreadsheet discovers, the agent delivers. No money or parcel ever touches the spreadsheet.
The finds you'll browse are real seller listings from China's big marketplaces. OSSbuy can buy from all of them, so almost any link you copy is orderable:
How spreadsheet discovery actually works
Open a category or search
Browse a category board or search a keyword on W2CSpreadsheet. Each entry is a real seller listing on Taobao, Weidian, 1688, or Yupoo.
Copy the seller link
Open a find you like and copy its product URL. That link is the only thing you carry over to the agent.
Paste it into OSSbuy
OSSbuy's home search accepts a pasted product name or link — or use Fill&Buy / DIY Order if the link is messy. You can also Favorite finds to your account to compare before buying. OSSbuy then purchases from that seller on your behalf.
Confirm the details that a photo can't
Size, colour, variant, quantity, and any note to the seller — you set these in the agent, not the spreadsheet.
Browse finds by category
These open W2CSpreadsheet in a new tab. Each has a quick "check this first" note — the thing beginners most often get wrong for that category.
Sneakers & casual shoes
Check first: the seller's size chart in CM, not your usual EU/US number — factory sizing drifts. Ask for a box + insole photo in QC.
Hoodies, tees & jackets
Check first: flat-lay measurements (chest, length, sleeve). Tops are the #1 "fits nothing like expected" category. Heavier jackets also add shipping weight.
Jeans & bottoms
Check first: waist and inseam in CM plus the stretch note. Denim weight adds up — worth consolidating with lighter items.
Bags & accessories
Check first: hardware and stitching close-ups in QC. Bags are bulky — volumetric weight often decides their shipping cost, not actual weight.
Watches, eyewear & jewelry
Check first: these can be fragile or restricted on some lines. Ask about packing and confirm your country's rules before you ship.
Everything else
Check first: if you can't find a category, use search. The full board lives on W2CSpreadsheet — copy any seller link back to OSSbuy to order.
Reality check: a spreadsheet find does not guarantee stock or that the agent can buy it. Sellers go out of stock and some items are restricted. Treat a find as a candidate, not a confirmed order — you confirm on the OSSbuy side.
