What Is the KakoBuy Spreadsheet?
The KakoBuy Spreadsheet is a community-curated database of W2C products sourced primarily from Chinese platforms like Weidian and Taobao. Unlike random browsing on shopping agents, the spreadsheet pre-vets products for quality, accuracy, and value. Each listing includes a direct link to the product on KakoBuy, making it easy to go from discovery to purchase in just a few clicks.
The spreadsheet covers 11 major categories: Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear, Jersey, Accessories, and Others. Products are ranked by community popularity, QC approval rates, and seller reliability scores.
How to Use the Spreadsheet: Step-by-Step
Using the KakoBuy Spreadsheet is straightforward once you understand the workflow:
Browse by category
Use the category navigation to find the type of item you want. Each category page shows products sorted by popularity and community approval.
Check the product details
Click any product card to open the detail modal. Here you'll find product photos, QC images (if available), price in USD, SKU options, and direct links to multiple shopping agents.
Review QC photos
QC (Quality Control) photos are taken by the seller or previous buyers and show the actual product. Always review these before purchasing.
Select your SKU
Choose your size, color, or style variant using the SKU selector in the product modal.
Click "Buy on KakoBuy"
This takes you directly to KakoBuy with the product pre-loaded. Add to cart, complete payment, and wait for your haul.
Approve QC before shipping
Once KakoBuy receives your item, they'll send you QC photos. Review carefully before approving shipment.
Understanding Product Pricing
Prices on the KakoBuy Spreadsheet are displayed in USD for convenience, converted from the original CNY (Chinese Yuan) price. The conversion rate used is approximately 6.2 CNY per USD, which reflects a realistic estimate after accounting for platform fees.
Keep in mind that the final cost of your haul includes: product price, domestic shipping within China (usually ¥5-15 per item), KakoBuy service fee (typically 5-10%), international shipping (varies by line and weight), and any applicable customs duties in your country.
For most items, the total landed cost is still significantly lower than retail — often 70-90% less for popular streetwear and sneakers.
