Independent Asdbuy guide
The Asdbuy Spreadsheet, from find to verified parcel
A spreadsheet shows you what to buy. Asdbuy sources it — from Taobao, 1688, Xianyu and Weidian — grade-checks it, and forwards it worldwide. This guide connects the two, step by step.

Signature map
Your find can come from four different marketplaces
Most agents pull from Taobao, 1688 and Weidian. Asdbuy adds Xianyu (闲鱼), China's big second-hand marketplace — great for pre-owned and hard-to-find pieces, but with its own rules. Knowing the source changes what you check before you order.
Taobao
Huge everyday marketplace. Widest selection of new items and sellers.
Wholesale1688
Factory & bulk pricing. Best when you buy multiples or know the source.
Second-handXianyu 闲鱼
Pre-owned & rare finds. Individual sellers — check condition carefully.
BoutiqueWeidian
Small independent stores, popular for niche and trend items.
How it fits together
Discovery and buying are two different jobs
Finds the item
A spreadsheet is a shared, organised list of products with pictures and links. You browse or search, then copy the link of what you like. It does not take payment or ship anything.
Buys, checks & ships it
Paste the link into Asdbuy. It buys the item from the Chinese seller, receives it in the warehouse, shows you photos, then forwards it to your country when you're ready.
Browse by type
Jump straight to a category
Each chip opens that category on W2CSpreadsheet in a new tab. Discovery happens there; you bring the link back to Asdbuy to order.
Set expectations
What a grade check can — and can't — tell you
Asdbuy's positioning is "superior grade goods," and warehouse photos help. But QC photos are a visual check, not a lab test. Know the line before you pay.
Photos can show
- Right colour, size tag & model
- Obvious defects or wrong item
- Item actually arrived at the warehouse
Photos can't confirm
- Long-term durability or materials
- Guaranteed authenticity of any brand
- How it fits you — check measurements
Your job
- Read the size chart before ordering
- Request extra photos if unsure
- Ask support before restricted buys
Buy vs forward
Asdbuy is also a forwarder (transshipment)
You have a link
Asdbuy buys the item for you, receives it, and ships it out. This is the normal spreadsheet-to-door flow.
You already bought it
Already ordered to a China address yourself? Asdbuy can receive parcels, consolidate them, and forward them abroad — using its Freight Estimation tool.
Heads up: the EU changed small-package tax rules from 1 July 2026. Always confirm current fees and available shipping lines on Asdbuy before you send a parcel. See what changed →

Quick answers
Beginner questions, answered
No. The spreadsheet (on W2CSpreadsheet) is where you find items. Asdbuy is the separate agent that buys, checks and ships them. You move a link from one to the other.
Asdbuy lists Xianyu among its supported marketplaces. Second-hand listings are sold by individuals, so condition varies — read the description and ask for extra photos before ordering. More on Xianyu →
Warehouse photos catch the obvious — wrong item, wrong size, visible defects. They can't certify brand authenticity or materials. Treat "grade" as a visual quality check, not a guarantee. See what checks cover →
Asdbuy supports wallet top-up and international credit cards, and shows freight estimates before shipping. Exact numbers change, so always confirm them on the official site. This guide never quotes live prices.
