Before you save or convert a link, check where it actually goes and whether the current page still matches the item and option in the row.

What these source names usually mean

Yupoo

Often used as an image-album or catalog-style page. It may offer strong visual context but may not contain a complete transaction listing or raw destination.

Taobao

A marketplace listing context. Check the current title, options, visible seller information, measurements and policies on the actual page.

Weidian

Another marketplace or shop-link context commonly seen in spreadsheet rows. Confirm that the current item and options still match the saved summary.

1688

A wholesale-oriented listing context. Options, minimum quantities and product descriptions can be structured differently, so read the page carefully.

Start from the link you already have

Look at the domain before you convert or save anything. A Yupoo album, a Taobao listing, a Weidian shop page and a 1688 listing do not present information in the same way. Knowing where you are helps you decide which details should be visible and what may still be missing.

If a link has been reformatted for another interface, keep the source destination beside it. Then compare the title, selected option, images and measurements on both pages. A cleaner-looking URL is convenient, but it does not make the item, seller or description more reliable.

What “raw link,” “original link” and “converted link” mean

A raw or original link usually points closer to the source listing. A converted link may reformat that destination for another browsing or agent interface. These phrases describe link handling—not product origin, authenticity, quality or seller approval.

Use this wording carefully“Original link” means original destination in the browsing chain. It does not mean official product or verified source.

A five-step link-check workflow

  1. Read before converting.
    Copy or inspect the visible destination and note the source domain.
  2. Match the row.
    Compare product type, option, image and key measurements with the spreadsheet summary.
  3. Look for drift.
    If the current title or images changed, treat the saved row as stale.
  4. Check the missing evidence.
    Use QC photos, size context and weight notes rather than relying on source reputation.
  5. Save the reason.
    Record why the destination remains useful and what still needs confirmation.
RelevantThe current destination matches the row and adds evidence.
UnclearThe source opens, but options or measurements do not line up.
MismatchedThe destination changed, redirects unexpectedly or shows another item.
