The Kakobuy Spreadsheet, shelf by shelf

Sixteen category shelves of community-sourced finds. Open a shelf, pick an item, copy its source link, and you are ready to compare the actual seller details before an order.

The sixteen shelves, in custody order

Each card names the shelf, shows an illustrative product image, and notes the custody detail that matters for that category: weight for denim, volume for puffers, route limits for liquids and batteries. The badge tells you whether the link opens a category page or a search feed.

Reading a catalogue page before you commit money

A catalogue entry is a pointer, not a promise. The photo and price were true when the find was logged; the seller controls both afterwards. Before the first payment, open the source listing and check three things: the price now, the variant grid, and whether the shop answers messages.

Price drift is normal and has an official name on this agent: a shortfall. If the seller raises the price after you paid, check the order message and ask about the available options before accepting a shortfall. The stalled-orders page shows how that looks in practice.

One shelf behaves differently: Womenswear is a search feed rather than a category page, so its contents rotate as new finds are logged. Treat it as a stream, not a fixed list.

Kakobuy product page for a towel priced CNY 5.4 with callouts for colour, size, quantity and the Buy now button
From catalogue to agent: a towel listing with colour, size and quantity callouts. The operator's example price, a 5.4 yuan towel, is an example, not a minimum purchase or current price.

What a catalogue cannot tell you

Four things no catalogue entry carries, however fresh. Current price: sellers reprice without notice, and the gap surfaces later as a shortfall request. Current stock: a listing can look alive while the variant you want is gone, which can interrupt an order after payment. Batch state: the thing photographed months ago and the thing shipped this week can differ, which is why the stored QC photos outrank every catalogue photo. And route fit: whether an item's weight, battery or liquid content narrows your shipping choices must be checked before buying and confirmed against the final parcel and route.

The honest division of labour: the catalogue answers 'does this exist and where', the agent's screens answer everything with a number on it. This site sits in between, documenting what those numbers mean while your goods cross the gap.
