Buying online, especially from independent sellers and lesser-known platforms, always carries inherent risk. To combat this, the Kakobuy community has developed a powerful tool for safer transactions: the Verified Seller Spreadsheet. This guide explains how to use this resource effectively to avoid scams, fake sellers, broken links, and unreliable shops.
The Problem: Trust in a Digital Marketplace
Platforms like Kakobuy connect buyers with a vast array of individual sellers. Without a robust internal verification system, buyers can easily encounter:
- Fake Sellers:
- Broken or Misleading Links:
- Unreliable Shops:
Relying solely on unverified reviews or seller promises is often not enough.
The Solution: The Community-Powered Spreadsheet
The Verified Kakobuy Spreadsheet is a living document, curated and updated by experienced community members. It acts as a shared database of vetted sellers, recording their performance, reliability, and trustworthiness.
How to Use the Spreadsheet to Avoid Scams
Step 1: Locate the Official Source
Always obtain the spreadsheet link from an official
Step 2: Understand the Columns & Data
The spreadsheet's power is in its details. Key columns to check include:
| Column | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Seller Name/ID | The exact username to search for. |
| Verification Status | "Verified", "Pending", "Reported" – only deal with "Verified". |
| Product/Link Type | Confirms what the seller legitimately offers. |
| Community Feedback Score | A numeric or tiered rating based on past transactions. |
| Notes/Incidents | Critical details about shipping times, communication, or past issues. |
Step 3: Cross-Reference Before You Buy
Before contacting a seller, search for their exact username
Step 4: Verify Links and Details
Even with a verified seller, use caution. Ensure any product links they send you match the type of goods they are vetted for in the spreadsheet. Be wary of any sudden requests to move transactions off-platform or use unusual payment methods.
Step 5: Contribute Responsibly
After a successful (or problematic) transaction, consider providing constructive feedback to the spreadsheet moderators. This keeps the resource accurate and helps others. Do not misuse the spreadsheet for personal disputes.

The Verified Kakobuy Spreadsheet transforms individual experience into collective security. By making it a non-negotiable step
- Always source the spreadsheet from official community channels.
- Only engage with sellers clearly marked as "Verified."
