When using a purchasing agent service like ItaoBuy, one of the most critical steps for a successful order is ensuring the agent sources the exact product
The process is straightforward but must be followed diligently. Its effectiveness relies entirely on your consistency. Always save your submitted URLs in the official ItaoBuy Spreadsheet and meticulously cross-check them against the links in the purchased item listings provided by your agent. When you find the product you wish to purchase, copy the complete URL
After processing your order request, your ItaoBuy agent will create a "Purchased Item Listing" for your approval. This listing will contain a link to the product they intend to buy. Do not skip this step.
If the links match perfectly, you can approve the purchase. If there is any difference, immediately notify your agent. Clarify which link (the one in your spreadsheet) is the correct source and request they update their listing before proceeding. Sellers on platforms like TaoBao, 1688, or JD.com often have multiple nearly-identical listings. Agents might inadvertently select a similar but cheaper listing from a different, sometimes unreliable, seller. Your vigilance ensures:The Core Rule: Document and Verify
