Seller Selection Standards
Seller Selection Standards explain how LitBuy frames useful marketplace listings for buyers using Taobao, Weidian and 1688.
The page separates buyer-verifiable facts from seller claims, agent handling, carrier timing and customs outcomes.
What makes a listing useful?
A useful listing has a checkable original URL, clear variants, readable size or material information, realistic photos, understandable domestic shipping terms and enough detail for a buyer to ask precise questions.
3-source screening standard
LitBuy uses a 3-source screening model in its editorial guidance: the seller listing, warehouse QC evidence and route restriction notes. A product idea is stronger when all three sources can be checked before international dispatch.
When should a buyer skip a listing?
A buyer should skip or pause a listing when the seller page is unclear, the variant cannot be identified, size information is missing, the product is route-sensitive, or the price appears inconsistent with the claimed item.

Review evidence and update process
The LitBuy Editorial Team reviews marketplace guidance against buyer-facing tasks: checking original seller URLs, comparing QC photo evidence, identifying size and material questions, noting route restrictions and separating buyer-verifiable facts from seller, agent, carrier and customs decisions. Updates are made when category guidance, warehouse steps, shipping route notes, privacy posture or buyer-risk language changes. Shoppers should keep product links, order screenshots, QC photos, measurements, parcel weights and tracking records until delivery is complete.
