Browsing the Lovegobuy Spreadsheet with the inspection in mind

The catalogue is where a find starts. Choosing well here is cheaper than arguing later, because most of what goes wrong is decided by the listing rather than by the warehouse.

What this guide adds to the catalogue

The catalogue tells you what exists and what other people bought. It does not tell you which of the things you care about are checkable once the goods are in a warehouse. That gap is what this site fills, and it fills it from the operator's published scope rather than from opinion.

Every number and every rule quoted here carries the help article it came from and the date it was read. Where the operator's own pages disagree with each other, both figures are printed with their sources rather than one being chosen quietly.

Judging a listing before it becomes an order

A listing that states measurements in centimetres gives the inspection something to read. A listing that offers only a size letter does not, because the check reads the label and the tag, and the label will say whatever the maker printed.

Listing detail determines what an inspection can settle. Scope wording from help article 10086, read 2026-10-10.
What the listing showsWhat survives to the warehouseWhat to do about it
Measurements in centimetres per sizeA number you can put in the remarkWrite the measurement and the size in the remark
A size letter onlyA label the inspector can read, nothing to compare it toAsk the seller for the flat measurements first
Several colourways in one listingA colour name the inspection can checkName the colourway in the remark, not just the swatch position
A model or version number in the titleA number that is on the inspected listRepeat it in the remark so there is a value to match
Photographs only, no stated specificationAppearance faults, and nothing elseTreat fit and finish as unverifiable before you order

The same size list, before and after translation

Size options are written by the seller in Chinese and rendered into English by the interface. The pair below is one listing, shown both ways, and it explains why a size letter is a weaker reference than it looks.

The same size selector rendered in English, each option reading like machine translation, for example thirty seven Feet Thin Feet Small Pat One Size Small
The same options after translation. Tutorial captures. Open full-size image.

Nothing is lost that matters to the inspection, because the check reads the label rather than the option name. What is lost is your confidence that you picked the right one, which is exactly what a remark restores.

Choosing a seller you can get an answer from

The inspection stage has a ceiling that is easy to miss. When an issue is raised, the operator's published answer is that it will negotiate with the seller, and that the final result is the seller's decision. A seller who replies before you buy is the same seller who will reply afterwards.

  • Ask one specific question before ordering and see whether the answer is specific back
  • Prefer shops that state flat measurements rather than a size chart image
  • Treat a listing with no stated specification as a listing where only appearance is checkable
  • Note the shop name, because the warehouse entry shows the product identifier but your argument will be with the shop

How to judge a Spreadsheet site before you rely on it

A catalogue is only as good as its maintenance. The questions worth asking are plain: when was it last touched, do the outbound links still resolve, does it say where its facts came from, and does it print a date next to anything that can go stale.

Applied here: every outbound link on this site was requested and returned 200 before publication, every operator fact carries an article number and a read date, and the freshness record is published as a file rather than described in prose.

Why this guide is kept the way it is comes down to one habit: anything that can go stale is dated, and the dates are published rather than described. A guide updated every few months with no record of what was read is indistinguishable from one that was written once.
