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.
Recovery workflow when a row 404s
Copy the product title and one distinctive photo into MaisonLooks image search. If that fails, search brand + model + category lane.
Never paste a mystery redirect URL from an old Discord screenshot — rebuild from a live listing or skip.
Why links die faster on reps finds
Sellers delist hot SKUs, agents change converter formats, and sheet admins stop maintaining tabs. Dead links are normal — your process should assume refresh.
FAQ — fix dead LoloBuy product 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.
Should I keep dead rows in my personal sheet?
Delete or archive them. Dead rows train bad paste habits.
