The Lolobuy Spreadsheet's sixteen shelves, with our slip count on each

Sixteen catalogue shelves, each tile opening the full shelf of listings, and under every tile the number of slips we filed from it.

A spreadsheet in this trade is a browsable catalogue of products from Chinese shops, sorted into categories, with a price and photos for each listing. Ours adds one thing: for forty-one of those listings we wrote a slip, a short card that says why the piece earned a place, which warehouse photos settle the doubts, and how the sizes behave. The shelves below are the full catalogue; the slips are the shortlist.

Every catalogue shelf, tile by tile

Tiles go to the full shelf. The slip pages are linked in the menu below each section and in the footer.

Method

How a catalogue listing becomes a slip

Every slip started as a catalogue listing. We opened each one twice on October 22, 2026: once as the catalogue shows it, and once as Lolobuy shows it after the item link is pasted into Lolobuy's search bar. The second view is the one that matters, because it is the page you order from. It lists every size and colour the seller offers, the stock behind each one, and the seller's own post fee to the warehouse, which was CNY 10 on all forty-one listings.

A listing became a slip when that second view gave us something concrete to tell you: a size menu written in millimetres, a refund rule hidden inside a size name, a stock figure that made only one size buyable, or a colour menu that runs to forty numbers. Listings with nothing to add stayed on the shelf.

We did not buy these pieces and we do not hold QC photos for them. Each slip tells you what to look for in the photos Lolobuy takes when your own order reaches its warehouse.

The size buttons and the freight-to-warehouse line are what each slip is built from.

Shelf labels that do not mean what they say

Some shelf names are loose. The jerseys shelf holds football kits but also oxford shirts and a printed denim shirt sold as half of a set; we kept all three under one heading because that is where you will find them. Womenswear is not a shelf at all in the catalogue: the tile runs a search for "women", so results mix tops, bags and shoes.

The eyewear shelf includes listings that are mostly something else, such as a beanie with lenses built in. The perfume shelf in the wider catalogue carries T-shirts and socks filed there by mistake. When a tile shows you something odd, the label is the problem, not your search.

Trust the photo and the option menu over the shelf name. That is also how the warehouse works: it checks what arrived against the option you picked, not against the shelf the listing sat on.

Material and cut beat shelf names in search

The search box at the top of the home page covers the whole catalogue. It works best with plain English nouns and materials: "suede high-top", "rib bralette", "oud", "work jacket". Seller titles are often shorthand or deliberately misspelt, so a word the seller avoided will not match; a material or a cut usually will.

Lolobuy has its own search too. Its search bar accepts item links from Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, Weidian and Yupoo, and keyword searches that draw suggestions from Taobao, Tmall and JD.com. It also has a search by picture, which helps when you have a photo but no link.

Try a search for "work jacket" to see how a plain noun pulls listings that the jacket shelf alone would bury.
