Why links die
Shops delist SKUs, change IDs, or move from Weidian albums to new Taobao items. Screenshots without URLs age even faster.
Community sheets that are not refreshed weekly accumulate 404s—especially in sneakers and hyped drops.
What to do when a row fails
Copy any remaining title, brand, or model cues into MaisonLooks search. Compare photos, not just names.
If nothing matches, skip the row. Do not paste broken or redirected mystery URLs into LoloBuy.
Prevention habits
Prefer live catalogs over month-old exports. Save the seller URL yourself when you shortlist. Re-open the listing the day you order.
Treat “spreadsheet” as a starting map. The live seller page is the source of truth.
FAQ — lolobuy spreadsheet dead links
Can LoloBuy open a dead link?
If the marketplace URL is gone, the agent cannot buy that SKU. Find a replacement listing first.
Are archived screenshots enough?
No. You need a pasteable purchase URL that still loads.
