Start broad only when you are still exploring
Use “Ptochina spreadsheet” when you first want to understand what collections are available. Once you know the product type, make the search narrower. A bag, hoodie, or shoe needs a different set of photos and measurements, so mixing them wastes time.

Search by source: Yupoo, Taobao, Weidian, or 1688
Add the source name when the destination or original link is unclear. An album reference may help recover photo context, while a marketplace reference may lead back to the item and its options.
Source names do not prove quality, availability, or seller reliability. Use them to locate context, then inspect the destination.
Search by category
Shoes and sneakers need size and profile evidence. Bags need dimensions and interior views. Hoodies and jackets need garment measurements plus fabric or lining details.
Keep the category neutral. A product type is a cleaner browsing lane than a brand-and-model phrase.
Search by the check you still need
QC photos
Add this when listing images do not answer shape, finish, construction, or measurement questions.
Size chart
Add this when the row shows only a letter size or an unexplained conversion.
Shipping weight
Add this when bulk or packed weight could change the practical value.
If you need the original source link
Look for the marketplace or album behind the row, then compare the item, option, images, and price with the spreadsheet. A converter may reformat a link, but it cannot prove that the destination is current or that the row still matches.
This site does not operate a converter. Before using an external tool, check the URL it produces, where it sends you, and whether it asks to store or submit information.
Add one extra detail at a time
If the first search is too broad, add the one fact that would change your decision: “measurements,” “interior photos,” “size chart,” or “packed weight.” Adding several unrelated details usually makes the results harder to compare.
If another agent name appears
Do not assume the named service created or approved the spreadsheet. Check who maintains the page, when the row was reviewed, and whether its destination still matches before bringing the item into your shortlist.
What usually wastes time
- Adding several source names when only one destination is in question.
- Using words such as “best” or “cheap” instead of naming the missing measurement or photo.
- Opening every result before choosing the category you actually want to compare.
- Trusting the short preview text without opening and checking the current page.
