Product Search & Selection Process

  1. Find the Spreadsheet: On chinasheets.net, look for a 'Nike SB Dunk Low spreadsheet' under the sneaker category. This spreadsheet contains Weidian product links, prices, and seller ratings.
  2. Filter and Sort: Use the spreadsheet filters to sort by price (low to high) or rating (4.5+ stars). Narrow down by size and colorway (e.g., 'Panda' or 'University Red').
  3. Read Descriptions and Reviews: Click a Weidian link to view product details. Look for '实拍图' (real photos) and check reviews for quality notes. Avoid sellers with no reviews or suspiciously low prices.
  4. Compare Prices: The spreadsheet lists multiple sellers. Compare prices for the same shoe—typical range is ¥200-¥600. Use chinasheets.net product comparison tools to analyze price differences and shipping costs.
  5. Assess Quality: Look for sellers with high 'pass rates' (e.g., 98%) and detailed size charts. Contact the seller via Weidian chat (use Google Translate) to ask about materials and batch (e.g., 'LJR batch' for high quality).

Ordering & Payment Tutorial

  1. Add to Cart: On the Weidian product page, select your size (use the size chart; Chinese sizes run small, so go up 0.5-1 size). Click '加入购物车' (Add to Cart).
  2. Checkout: Go to cart and click '立即购买' (Buy Now). Choose 'Basetao' as the shipping address (your agent's warehouse). Select '在线支付' (Online Payment) and complete payment using your Weidian wallet.
  3. Copy Order Info: Copy the order number and product link. Paste these into your Basetao dashboard under 'Purchase Orders' to inform your agent.
  4. Confirm with Agent: Basetao will notify you when the item arrives at their warehouse (3-7 days). They will provide QC photos. Review photos, then approve or reject the item.
  5. Pay for Agent Service: Once approved, pay Basetao's service fee (usually 10% of item price) and international shipping cost. Use PayPal for secure payment. For secure payment guidance, chinasheets.net offers detailed steps.

Shipping & Delivery Management

  1. Choose Shipping Method: In Basetao, select a carrier: EMS (7-15 days, $15-25), DHL (5-10 days, $25-40), or China Post (15-30 days, $10-15). For lightweight sneakers, EMS is a good balance.
  2. Track Your Order: Use the tracking number provided on your Basetao dashboard. Check updates on 17track.net. Typical transit: 5-10 days via DHL.
