How to read the Kakobuy shortlist
A shortlist is only useful if you know what the entries mean. Each row here is a genuine listing from Taobao, Tmall, 1688 or JD, included because it looked worth buying. Below: how entries are chosen, how to judge one before committing, and the boundary between what a row tells you and what only the warehouse can.

How the shortlist works
1. Finding happens here
The shortlist is where you compare. No payment is taken.
2. Kakobuy fulfils
Purchase, inspection, storage, packing and dispatch are Kakobuy's steps.
3. Separation keeps prices real
One account covers all four storefronts, so a gap you see is one you can act on.
Judging an entry
The same article tends to sit under a cluster of links, each priced by a different shop. Line them up and the answer is usually immediate.
Different prices usually mean different sellers, not different products.
Tmall entries come from brand shops. Use them when provenance matters.
1688 entries usually carry one; it is recorded on the row.
Photographs settle whether the entry was the right pick.
Two columns: what a row says, what the warehouse says
Column one is what the map can show you. Column two is what only a warehouse, a scale and a camera can answer.
Put the number and the shots side by side before trusting either. Clean shots at a fair number: proceed. Same shots, cheaper: proceed happily. One hazy shot: enquire first.
