Product list FAQ
Is this a spreadsheet download?
No. It is a simple planning page for columns and browsing flow. You can copy the column ideas into any sheet you already use.
Why do the category links open Findsindex?
The links are there so you can move from saved notes back to the right product shelf. They point to matching category pages such as clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, electronics, hats, and watches.
What should I put in the first row?
Start with the item type, not the product name. “Outerwear for rain” or “daily black sneakers” gives you more signal than a pasted title.
How many products should be in a shortlist?
Usually three to five per category is enough. More than that means the category or use case is still too broad.
Should I search first or browse categories first?
Search first when you know the exact product name. Browse categories first when you only know the type of item or want to compare similar options before saving anything.
What makes a QC note useful?
A useful QC note names a visible detail such as stitching, color, logo placement, sole shape, hardware, packaging, or included parts. It should also mention what is missing from the photos.
How often should I clean the spreadsheet?
Clean it whenever the same category has too many similar rows. Remove stale links, merge duplicates, and keep only products with a clear reason to stay.
What should I search for when I am building a Hubbuy list?
Start with a broad Hubbuy or HubbuyCN product list, then narrow by QC photos, Taobao links, Weidian links, 1688 links, category pages, and shipping estimates.
Should shipping terms be part of a product spreadsheet?
Yes, once an item reaches the shortlist. Shipping cost estimate, parcel weight estimate, shipping lines, customs notes, and price in USD or CNY can change whether a product is still worth keeping.
Why mention other shopping agents?
Some users compare Hubbuy with Mulebuy, CNFans, ACBuy, AllChinaBuy, Superbuy, Sugargoo, or Kakobuy. Keeping those notes separate helps the Hubbuy list stay focused.
