Taobao, Weidian, and 1688 on the boonbuy spreadsheet

The same sheet mixes three marketplaces. They do not buy the same way.

Taobao rows on a boonbuy spreadsheet behave like retail. You are usually buying one listed item from one shop, with a size chart and a review history.

Weidian rows are common for shop albums. The listing can be a set of photos with thin text. Lean on the photo and on QC, and write the color name exactly as it appears.

1688 rows are wholesale. Confirm the quantity is one, and confirm the price is not a 'starting at' price for a dozen. If the listing only sells a carton, it does not belong in a first parcel.

Boonbuy can purchase from all three. The sheet's job is to make the source obvious before you pay.
