The yoybuy spreadsheet is designed to reduce human error, but it cannot fix bad habits. These seven mistakes show up repeatedly among new and even experienced users. Recognize them early and use the built-in safeguards to stay on track.
Mistake 1: Ignoring Size Charts
Chinese sizing often runs smaller than US or EU standards. A medium in China may fit like a small elsewhere. The yoybuy spreadsheet links directly to supplier size charts. Before you enter a size, click the chart link and compare measurements to your sizing standards.
Mistake 2: Ordering Without Samples
Photos on supplier sites are not always accurate. Materials, colors, and fit can differ from the listing. Always order a single sample of new products before committing to a bulk purchase. The yoybuy spreadsheet flags first-time products with a sample reminder badge.
Mistake 3: Missing the Fee Breakdown
Service fees, duties, and shipping add up. A product priced at ten dollars might cost eighteen dollars delivered. The yoybuy spreadsheet shows the full landed cost in every row. Do not ignore the fee columns. They are where surprises live.
Mistake 4: Forgetting Currency Fluctuation
Exchange rates between the yuan and your local currency shift daily. A favorable rate today might weaken by the time your order ships. The yoybuy spreadsheet locks in the rate at the moment of submission and tracks historical trends so you can time orders around stronger rates.
Mistake 5: Overlooking Supplier Ratings
Not every supplier delivers consistent quality. The yoybuy spreadsheet surfaces supplier ratings, return rates, and average shipping delays right next to each product. A high return rate is a red flag no matter how cheap the product seems.
Mistake 6: Duplicating Orders
It is easy to paste the same URL twice when building a large order. The yoybuy spreadsheet detects duplicate SKUs and flags them before submission. One glance at the warning column prevents a costly double order.
Mistake 7: Ignoring Shipping Time Estimates
Standard shipping from China takes ten to twenty business days. If you need inventory for a launch or seasonal sale, plan backward from your deadline. The yoybuy spreadsheet shows estimated delivery dates per shipping method so you can choose express if timing is tight.
