How to Use ACBuy Spreadsheet: Complete Beginner's Guide 2025
Welcome to the definitive beginner's guide to using the ACBuy Spreadsheet. If you're new to the world of W2C (Want to Copy) shopping, the process can seem overwhelming at first — Chinese marketplaces, shopping agents, QC photos, freight forwarders... it's a lot to take in. This guide breaks everything down into simple, actionable steps so you can go from complete beginner to confident W2C shopper in one read. We'll cover how to find products on our spreadsheet, how to place orders through ACBuy, what to do when your QC photos arrive, and how to choose the right shipping line for your budget.
What Is a W2C Spreadsheet and Why Use One?
A W2C spreadsheet is a curated database of products available on Chinese marketplaces like Weidian, Taobao, and 1688. Instead of spending hours searching through Chinese platforms you can't read, a spreadsheet like ACBuy Spreadsheet does the work for you — finding the best sellers, verifying quality, and providing direct links to order. Our ACBuy Spreadsheet is specifically optimized for use with the ACBuy shopping agent, meaning every product link is pre-formatted to work seamlessly with ACBuy's ordering system. We update the spreadsheet daily with new finds, remove listings that have gone out of stock or dropped in quality, and add community-verified QC reports to help you make informed decisions.
Step-by-Step: From Spreadsheet to Doorstep
Here is the complete process for ordering through ACBuy Spreadsheet:

Wait for ACBuy to purchase the item from the seller (usually 1-3 days)

Track your package and receive it at your door in 10-30 days
Understanding ACBuy Fees
ACBuy charges several types of fees. Here is a breakdown of what to expect:
| Fee Type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Service Fee | 0-5% of item price | Varies by membership tier |
| Warehouse Storage | Free for 90 days | After 90 days, small daily fee applies |
| International Shipping | Varies by weight/line | Typically $15-50 for a pair of shoes |
| Payment Processing | 0-2% | Depends on payment method |
| QC Photos | Free | Standard QC included, extra photos may cost small fee |
How to Evaluate QC Photos
When your QC photos arrive, you have a limited window to approve or reject. Here is what to look for:
Compare the item to retail reference photos — use Google Images or StockX for comparison
Check for any visible defects: loose threads, uneven stitching, color inconsistencies
Verify the size tag matches what you ordered
For shoes, check the sole, tongue, and heel counter carefully
For clothing, check the print quality, fabric texture, and label accuracy
If in doubt, post the QC photos in our Discord or Telegram for community feedback
Never approve QC photos if you have serious concerns — it is much harder to dispute after shipping
Choosing the Right Shipping Line
ACBuy offers many shipping lines. Here is how the main options compare for most buyers:
YunExpress: Best overall balance of speed (15-20 days), tracking, and customs clearance
EMS: Reliable government postal service, good for smaller packages, 15-25 days
DHL/FedEx: Fastest (7-12 days) but most expensive and highest customs risk
4PX: Good for US buyers, competitive rates, 15-22 days
SAL/Economy: Cheapest but slowest (30-45 days), limited tracking
Sea Freight: For very large hauls only, 45-60 days but extremely cheap per kg
