Everything below is color-and-commentary on this flow.

Logging In

Create an OOPbuy account before starting. One-time: email + password. Once logged in, "Submit Link" is a persistent menu item in your account dashboard.

Checking Product Details Before Pay

After pasting the link, OOPbuy fetches the seller's product page and shows you:

  • Current price in CNY.
  • Available variants (size, color, spec).
  • Seller info and item images.

Pause here. Check that the price matches what you expected — seller prices shift. Check that the variant you need is in stock.

Variant Selection

This is where most beginners lose money. If the seller has US6–US12 shoes, make sure you click your size. Default selection is often "no variant," which leads to:

  • OOPbuy asking "which one do you want?" and pausing your order.
  • Or worse — shipping the default (smallest) variant.

Save yourself a week: select the variant explicitly, then confirm.

Submit Order

Add notes if needed ("replace if out of stock", "check for factory seal", etc.), confirm price, pay. Your order is now "pending seller shipment."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Chinese account on Taobao too?
No. You never interact with Taobao directly. OOPbuy's account places the order on your behalf.
What if the Spreadsheet "Buy" button doesn't work?
Copy the product URL manually and use "Submit Link" instead. Same result.
Can I submit multiple links at once?
Depends on interface version. Recent OOPbuy versions support batch submission. Otherwise, one at a time.
Does submitting a link immediately place the order?
No. Submitting a link creates a draft. Payment is the action that tells OOPbuy to actually buy.
