CNshopper Spreadsheet catalogue by shelf, with the link behind each find explained

Sixteen illustrated categories, followed by a guide to identifying a find’s marketplace from its address before you paste it into CNshopper.

Shelves of the CNshopper Spreadsheet, with and without photos

All sixteen categories have product images. These are browsing examples, not stock promises. Womenswear opens a keyword search, so check the category and details of each result.

Shelves listed without a photo

The following notes cover dimensions, materials and transport constraints that a category photograph cannot establish.

A shelf card annotated: photo, shelf name, short note and the type of page the link opens — What each card on this page tells you and where it leads.

What an entry in this catalogue holds

Open a shelf and each find is an entry: a product photo, a translated title, a price as the listing shows it, and a link to the listing on its marketplace. Nothing is sold here and no stock is kept. When you have chosen a find, you copy its listing link and paste it into CNshopper, which opens its own product page for the same item.

The part most buyers skip is the address in that link. It tells you the marketplace before you have read a word of the listing: item.taobao.com is Taobao, detail.tmall.com is a Tmall store, detail.1688.com/offer/ is 1688, weidian.com/item.html is a Weidian shop. Those four open directly in CNshopper. A link to goofish.com (Xianyu), item.jd.com or a Xiaohongshu page does not, as our test on 17 October 2026 showed.

Keep the seller behind the find visible in your records

A Spreadsheet entry helps locate a product, but the original listing identifies the seller and the precise purchase option. Save that URL with colour, size, quantity, measurements and material. A second-hand item, a custom-made piece and a standard new product may look similar in the catalogue while carrying different conditions. Do not assume their return routes match.

CNshopper handles the buying request and warehouse stages rather than becoming the manufacturer of every find. Compare the submitted request with the selected seller option before payment. If a link cannot be read, verify the manual-order details and any limitations before proceeding. Your saved record should make clear what was requested and from whom, not merely which category led you there.

Picking a find with the return route in mind

Choosing an item well is mostly about removing the reasons you might want to send it back. Read the listing’s size chart in centimetres and compare it with a garment you own, not with your usual letter size. Check the option you select against the photos: a listing with twelve colour options often has two or three that look alike on screen. Look for the material line and the weight, which tell you more than the hero photo does.

Then add the origin questions. If the find sits on a Tmall store, expect clearer return terms and stricter checks on tags. If it sits on 1688, look at whether the item is listed as customisable and what quantity the price applies to. If it is on Weidian, expect option names in Chinese on CNshopper’s page (both Weidian listings we opened kept them untranslated). If the seller looks like a private person, assume a mistake in size is yours to keep.

None of this needs to put you off a find. It changes how carefully you check before you pay and how quickly you read the warehouse photos once they arrive.

Checklist for choosing an item: size chart in centimetres, option names, material, then marketplace and seller type questions — A checklist that starts with the item and finishes with the listing site.

Three checks for a looked-after catalogue: open a few links, look for a reading date, look for a way to report problems — Three quick checks you can run on any catalogue, including this one.

Signs a catalogue is being looked after

A catalogue is only useful while its links work. Open three or four finds from different shelves: if the listings have vanished or redirect to an empty shop, the catalogue has not been checked in a while. Look for a date on the page that says when it was last read, and for a way to report a broken link.

This site dates every CNshopper fact it uses (the last full re-read was 17 October 2026) and keeps a list of changes on the Changes page. The shelf links on this page go to category pages and a keyword search rather than single listings, so they do not go stale when one shop closes.
