How to use the PonyBuy spreadsheet

1. Start with the product you actually need

Begin with one category rather than browsing every link at once. A clear target—such as a neutral hoodie, a specific sneaker silhouette or a lightweight accessory—makes it easier to compare listings consistently. Open several candidates in separate tabs and record the product title, option name, listed size, price and seller information.

The spreadsheet is a discovery tool, not a substitute for checking the source listing. Product availability, photos, options and pricing can change. Always open the current listing and confirm that the item shown still matches your shortlist.

2. Compare the listing, not only the headline price

A lower number is not automatically a better choice. Look for clear option photos, measurements, material notes, recent activity and a complete description. Check whether the displayed price is for the full item or only a deposit, accessory or lowest-priced option.

3. Convert sizing into measurements

Do not rely only on labels such as M, L or EU 42. Compare the listing’s measurements with an item you already own. For clothing, useful measurements include chest width, shoulder width, body length and sleeve length. For footwear, use the size chart and insole length when available.

4. Submit a clean order

Copy the source URL into your chosen purchasing service, select the exact option, and add a short note only when it clarifies something visible in the listing. Avoid vague requests. A concise note such as “black, size L, confirm option photo before purchase” is easier to interpret.

5. Treat warehouse QC as a decision point

When photos arrive, compare them with your saved reference. Check the product identity, color, size label, visible damage, symmetry and important details. If a measurement matters, request a photo with a ruler rather than estimating from perspective.

Use the full warehouse QC checklist before approving the item. Once everything is acceptable, plan packaging and routes with the international shipping guide.

6. Keep a simple order record

Save the source link, paid price, selected option, warehouse weight and shipment tracking number. This record helps you compare future orders and spot which categories, sellers and packaging choices worked best for you.
