The Oopbuy spreadsheet is not complicated once you have the mental model. Most guides skip straight to the tactics. This one gives you the model first, then the moves.
Mental model: index, agent, warehouse
Three concepts you need to hold in your head:
- The spreadsheet is an index — a curated list of product URLs sorted into eleven categories.
- Oopbuy is an agent — the platform that actually places the order with the Chinese seller for you.
- The warehouse is the staging area — where your items land before international shipping.
The spreadsheet does not sell. It points you toward listings that Oopbuy can fulfill.
The eleven categories
Shoes, Hoodies/Sweaters, T-Shirts, Jackets, Pants/Shorts, Headwear, Sets, Underwear, Jersey, Accessories, and Other Stuff. Each pinned to a stable ID (911 through 921) in the 2026 refresh — one of the quietly important changes covered further down.
Vocabulary that speeds up every future guide
- QC — quality check; the warehouse photo before international shipping.
- Consolidation — batching multiple items into one parcel.
- Shipping coupon — Oopbuy discount applied at parcel submission.
- Sweet spot — the parcel weight band (1.2–3 kg) where shipping economy peaks.

- Cart, wait for warehouse consolidation, ship.
Where new buyers get stuck
The most common stall is trying to browse everything at once. Eleven categories times dozens of listings equals decision paralysis. The onboarding rule is: pick one category on day one, one item on day two, one order on day three. Widen from there.
