Weidian spreadsheet

What Weidian is

Weidian, from the Chinese 微店 meaning "micro shop", is an e-commerce platform built around small, mobile-first storefronts. Instead of one big marketplace with a central brand, it gives individuals and small businesses their own shop pages, which they manage from their phones and promote through social apps. Many sellers are small workshops or one-person stores.

That structure is why Weidian is everywhere in spreadsheets. Spreadsheet curators often find a good small seller, add the seller's Weidian items row by row, and share the list. In Oopbuy's own link format, Weidian has its own slot: a typical link looks like oopbuy.com/product/weidian/7303204804, with Weidian's item number at the end.

Because shops are small, the person who answers your agent's questions is often the person who packs the parcel. That can make sellers responsive to specific requests, such as checking a measurement before sending, which you can ask for through your agent's order note.

Weidian is where many small sellers behind spreadsheet finds actually run their shops.

Why you need an agent for Weidian

Weidian is built for the Chinese domestic market. Sellers ship within China, listings are in Chinese, and payment expects Chinese methods. A shopping agent bridges all three: it reads the listing, pays the seller, receives the item at its warehouse in China, photographs it for you, and ships it internationally with your other items.

The full process, with what each step costs at Oopbuy, is on how to order from Oopbuy.

An agent turns a domestic-only Weidian shop into something you can order from anywhere.

Reading a Weidian link

Weidian links you find in spreadsheets come in two forms. The original Weidian link points to the item on Weidian's own site and carries an item ID. An agent link, like the Oopbuy example above, wraps that same item ID in the agent's format. Either way, the item ID is the part that matters: it identifies the listing on Weidian, regardless of which agent you use.

1. Find the item ID. It is the long number in the link.
2. Open it at your agent. Paste the Weidian link into the agent's search, or use the link converter.
3. Check the listing. Photos, price range and variants should match what the spreadsheet described.
4. Look up recent QC photos of the same item ID in a QC finder before buying.

The Weidian item ID is portable across every agent that supports Weidian.

Things to know about Weidian sellers

• Listings change often. Small shops delist, re-list under new IDs or close. Old spreadsheet rows break more often for Weidian than for big Taobao stores, so check a sheet's date before relying on it.
• Variants can be confusing. Sizes and colours are often written in Chinese or as codes. Compare the variant photo with what you want, and use the order note to ask if unsure.
• Sizing runs small. Use the seller's size chart in centimetres, not the letter size. The sizing notes on the women's page and shoe sizing guide explain how.
• Domestic shipping is per seller. Several items from one Weidian shop usually share one domestic delivery to the warehouse; items from different shops each pay their own.

Expect changing listings and Chinese-language variants, and order several items from one shop where you can.

When a Weidian link is dead

Because Weidian sellers move fast, dead links are common, especially in older sheets or sheets built for agents that have since closed, such as CNFans and ACBuy. If the item ID no longer opens:

• Search the item title on Weidian through your agent; the seller may have re-listed it.
• Visit the seller's shop if the sheet names it, and look for the same item.
• Browse current finds in the grid above or by category on Oopbuy links.

A dead Weidian link usually means a re-listed item, not a lost one; search before giving up.

QC: your protection on Weidian

With small independent sellers, quality varies from batch to batch. The warehouse QC photos your agent takes are the only time you see your actual item before it ships, and that is when to catch wrong sizes, colours or defects. Oopbuy takes a free standard set of photos and charges ¥1 for extras; you then have 5 days from storage to request a return or exchange. The QC guide has a quick checklist.

Check QC photos carefully on every Weidian item; small-seller quality varies.

Weidian and customs

Weidian items are shipped by your agent like any other parcel. Import VAT applies in the EU and UK according to their rules, and in the EU a flat €3 duty per item has applied to parcels up to €150 since July 2026, with normal duty above. Customs anywhere can hold goods that infringe trademarks, and money for a seized parcel is usually lost. For shipping lines and timing, see Oopbuy shipping time, and for the full cost of an order, the Oopbuy spreadsheet page.

FAQ

What is Weidian?

Weidian (微店, 'micro shop') is a Chinese e-commerce platform where individuals and small businesses run their own mobile storefronts. It is popular with independent sellers, which is why so many spreadsheet finds come from it.

Can I buy from Weidian directly from abroad?

Usually not in practice: Weidian sellers ship within China and expect Chinese payment methods. A shopping agent buys on your behalf and ships internationally.

How do I use a Weidian link with Oopbuy?

Paste the Weidian link into Oopbuy's search box, or use the link converter. The Oopbuy format keeps Weidian's item number, for example oopbuy.com/product/weidian/ followed by the item ID.

Why do Weidian links stop working?

Weidian sellers are often small shops that delist, re-list or close. If a link fails, search the item title or visit the seller's shop for a new listing.

Is Weidian safe?

Weidian is an established platform, but sellers vary. Through an agent you see warehouse QC photos before anything ships, which is your main protection.
