PinguBuy: Mastering Multi-Seller Hauls with the Spreadsheet Method

2026-01-14

Organizing a haul from multiple sellers on platforms like Pandabuy can quickly become chaotic. The PinguBuy Spreadsheet Method

Why You Need a Consolidation Spreadsheet

When building a haul, you typically buy from different sellers, at different times, and with varying shipping options to the warehouse. Without a system, you lose track of:

  • Total spent per item and per seller.
  • Which items have arrived at the warehouse.
  • QC (Quality Check) photo status and GL/RL (Green Light/Red Light) decisions.
  • Individual and total weights/volumes for final international shipping.

A unified spreadsheet turns this mess into a clear, actionable plan.

Building Your PinguBuy Master Spreadsheet

Create a new spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel) with the following columns. This structure is key to efficiency.

Column Header Purpose & What to Enter
Item # Unique ID for each item (e.g., 001, 002).
Product Name / Description Brief description (e.g., "Nike Dunk Low Grey Fog").
Seller / Store Seller name or store link.
Price (¥) Item cost in Chinese Yuan.
Domestic Shipping (¥) Shipping cost from seller to Pandabuy warehouse.
Total Cost (¥) Formula: =Price + Domestic Shipping.
Pandabuy Order # Paste the warehouse order number for tracking.
Warehouse Status Dropdown: Ordered, Received, Stored.
QC Photos Link to uploaded QC photos from Pandabuy.
QC Status Dropdown: Pending, GL (Keep), RL (Exchange/Return).
Notes / Issues Log any flaws, size discrepancies, or agent comments.
Weight (g) Final weight from warehouse photos (for shipping calc).

How to Use the Spreadsheet Efficiently

1. Pre-Purchase Planning

Before you even buy, fill in columns for Item #, Product Name, Seller, and Price. This creates a shopping list with a budget cap, preventing overspending.

2. Tracking Orders & Warehousing

Once you place an order via Pandabuy, immediately paste the Pandabuy Order #Warehouse Status

3. Managing Quality Control (QC)

When QC photos arrive, paste the link into your sheet. Inspect the photos and update the QC StatusGLRLNotes

4. Consolidation & Final Shipping

Once all items are ReceivedGL, use the Weight

Pro Tip: Advanced Automation

Use spreadsheet functions to auto-calculate totals. For example:
=SUM(F2:F50)Total Cost (¥)RL—for instant visual understanding.
