The definitive guide to navigating HooBuy Spreadsheet — from finding the best finds to understanding sort levels, QC photos, and agent links.
How to Use HooBuy Spreadsheet Like a Pro
HooBuy Spreadsheet is one of the most comprehensive W2C product databases available in 2025. With nearly 6,000 products across 11 categories, it is the go-to resource for buyers looking to source from Weidian without spending hours searching. This guide will show you how to get the most out of it.
Understanding the Spreadsheet Structure
The spreadsheet is organized into 11 main categories:
| Category | What You'll Find |
|---|---|
| Shoes | Sneakers, boots, dress shoes, sandals |
| Hoodies & Sweaters | Pullover hoodies, zip-ups, crewnecks |
| T-Shirts | Graphic tees, basics, oversized fits |
| Jackets | Windbreakers, puffers, leather jackets |
| Pants & Shorts | Joggers, cargo pants, athletic shorts |
| Headwear | Caps, beanies, bucket hats |
| Sets | Matching tracksuit sets, co-ords |
| Underwear | Boxers, briefs, socks |
| Jersey | Sports jerseys, team kits |
| Accessories | Bags, belts, wallets, jewelry |
| Others | Miscellaneous items |
How Products Are Sorted
Products in the spreadsheet are sorted using a combination of sort level (editorial curation) and a stable seed shuffle based on the HooBuy.delivery domain. This means:
- Higher sort level = more curated, higher quality finds
- The shuffle ensures variety — you will not always see the same products at the top
- The order is consistent across sessions, so you can bookmark and return
Reading Product Cards
Each product card shows:
Price in USD — Converted from CNY at a standard rate. This is the item price only; agent fees and shipping are additional.
View Count — How many times the product has been viewed in the community. High view counts (2000+) indicate popular, well-tested items.
HOT / NEW Badges — HOT means the item has very high community engagement. NEW means it was recently added.
Brand — The brand or seller name from the Weidian listing.
Using the Product Modal
Clicking any product card opens the Product Modal, which contains:
- 1 Image Carousel — Swipe through all product photos. Click any image to open fullscreen lightbox.
- 2 QC Photos — Real buyer quality control photos. These are invaluable for assessing actual product quality.
- 3 SKU Selector — Choose your size, color, or style. SKU options with images show the actual variant photo.
- 4 Agent Links — Direct links to 6+ shopping agents with the product pre-loaded. Click to open the agent page with the correct Weidian ID.
- 5 Buy CTA — One-click button to open the product on HooBuy.
Finding the Best Finds
Strategy 1: Browse by Category If you know what you want, go directly to the category page. Products are sorted by popularity, so the best finds are near the top.
Strategy 2: Use Search The search function queries product titles and categories simultaneously. Searching "nike shoes" will prioritize results in the shoes category with Nike in the title.
Strategy 3: Check Hot Picks The homepage Hot Picks section shows the 8 most-viewed products across all categories. These are community-validated finds with high engagement.
Strategy 4: Follow the View Count Products with 1000+ views have been seen and purchased by many community members. High view counts are a strong signal of quality and availability.
Understanding Agent Links
Each product has direct links to multiple shopping agents. The links are pre-populated with the Weidian item ID, so you do not need to search manually. When you click an agent link:
- 1 The agent platform opens with the product pre-loaded
- 2 You can see the current price in CNY
- 3 Select your SKU options
- 4 Add to cart and proceed to checkout
Different agents may show slightly different prices due to their exchange rates and fee structures. It is worth checking 2–3 agents before placing your order.
Tips for Power Users
Tip 1: Use the lightbox for detailed inspection Click any product image to open the fullscreen lightbox. Use arrow keys or swipe to navigate. This is the best way to inspect construction quality before ordering.
Tip 2: Cross-reference QC photos The QC photos in the modal are from real buyers. Compare them to the listing photos to assess accuracy. If the QC photos look significantly different from the listing, proceed with caution.
Tip 3: Check multiple agents Different agents have different pricing, shipping options, and service quality. KakoBuy, MuleBuy, and Hipobuy are all popular choices with good reputations.
Tip 4: Join the community The Telegram and Discord communities linked in the site footer are where new finds are shared first. Community members post hauls, QC photos, and agent recommendations daily.
