Amid so much choice in the digital realm, it can be quite difficult to find trusted sources of quality products that don’t cost an arm and a leg, or so one might think. Nowhere is this perhaps more accurate than in Chinese e-commerce, which boasts so much on offer through platforms like Taobao, Weidian, and Yupoo, but can be a nightmare for those trying to find their way around it all from overseas. And here is where the CNFans Spreadsheet enters the scene — a huge community-created database that helps thousands of online shoppers cut the crap and make better buying decisions.

This guide will take you through what the CNFans Spreadsheet is, how it functions, why it matters, and what to beware of as you use it. Whether you are a novice CN shopper or have been buying for years and are just seeking more intel, this is the guide that gives everything needed to apprehend the value of this crowdsourced tool.

CNFansスプレッドシートとは？

The CNFans Spreadsheet is an open Google Sheet handled and regularly kept up to date by the online replica and trend fan communities. It has links to more than 7,000 authenticated items—kicks, hoodies, electronics, watches, and the like—the majority of which were sourced from Taobao and Weidian.

各行には通常、

アイテムのタイトル/説明
直接購入リンク
RMBおよびUSDでの価格設定
QCピクチャーズ
ユーザーレビュー/評価
ストア名/販売者の信頼性

The spreadsheet was divided into such tabs as ‘Sneakers’, ‘Streetwear’, and ‘Watches’ for more convenient usage with filtering or sorting possibilities offered more often than not.

Origin and Evolution of the CNFans Spreadsheet

It didn’t take too long to receive exposure as enthusiasts quickly started contributing finds and reviews. By 2020, this has availed itself into a several-tabs-deep database with thousands of entries spanning across over 20 something product categories.

The term “CNFans” stands for fans of Chinese markets (CN being the country code for China). A couple of friends sharing a small list among themselves informally grew to become one of the most quoted resources in replica and budget shopping communities, having dedicated moderators to verify submissions and clear dead links on a weekly basis helping out the online Lemony Snicket to make the life of many Violet Baudelaires a tad easier.

重要な理由

Use of Taobao or Weidian is extremely time-consuming if done manually. Their names may be confusing, their sizes may be indistinct, or they may have misleading images. CNFans Spreadsheet saves you hours. It shows only vetted, frequently reviewed items that have already passed community checks.

Not only the language barrier makes it hard for international users to shop on Chinese platforms. Generally, product descriptions, sizing charts, and seller policies are all in Mandarin. Translation tools usually result in imperfect results. This problem is avoided through the spreadsheet by the provision of essential information in English.

QC images are very much key in replica and second-hand shopping. Sellers upload pictures of the actual product being shipped. This helps you verify if the item meets your standards before you purchase it. The spreadsheet contains those images where they’re available.

QC photos offer a level of transparency seldom available when buying straight off the platforms. The actual stitching quality on leather goods, color accuracy of clothing items, and even packaging details are visible as though one was buying them.

詐欺と悪質な販売者はもういらない

Using community reviews and seller ratings, the spreadsheet often indicates the reliability of a shop. Thus, it saves you from being scammed by bogus listings or false sellers.

Levels of verification for sellers and protections for consumers differ among Chinese e-commerce platforms. For example, though Taobao provides some processes of resolving disputes, it is quite a challenge to go through them being a foreign buyer. CNFans Spreadsheet serves as the very first line of defense by channeling shoppers to sellers with proven track records.

The best things on Taobao often come from small unknown sellers. They’re not searchable by standard means but get put on the spreadsheet through user contributions all the same.

The e-commerce space in China is ginormous, spanning dozens of platforms and millions of sellers, and even experienced shoppers would barely be able to dip their toe in the water if not for resources like the spreadsheet that make a focused beeline for hidden gems.

The spreadsheet usually has several different sources for the same items at various price points so that a comparison of the quality to price ratio can be made by the buyer. It is very useful in the replica market, as higher prices do not always translate to better quality.

製品カテゴリの種類

Many of the entries include such notes whether an item is ‘budget batch’ (where focus has been affordability more than 1:1 accuracy) or ‘high-tier rep’ (with emphasis on quality and authenticity), allowing the shopper to make a better decision based on his or her priorities.

Its range is great, covering categories like:

トレーナー

偽造のジョーダン、イージー、ナイキ
Basketball shoes and special ‘limited edition’ releases
ハイファッションデザイナーとの提携
.countdown-widget-container {
手頃な「ベトウィーン」

In the other sections, ‘sneakers’ very often have an item or ‘line’ rated in a ‘budget-to-top-tier’ scale, along with notes on “flaws vs retail.” Many entries also come up with real versus fake comparison pictures.

ストリートウェア

スプリーム、オフホワイト、BAPE
ヴィンテージデッドストックまたはアーカイブピース
グラフィックTシャツとフーディ
日本のストリートウェアブランド
神の一撃 + 魔法ポイント

Normally, streetwear pieces involve comments like print quality, fabric weight, and regarding how precise the tags and labels are. Sizing recommendations are exceptionally valuable in this regard since Asian sizing often varies significantly from Western standards.

ウォッチ

ロレックスのオマージュだが安価
: 通常の6面のサイコロ2つ。
自動および機械式ムーブメント
デザイナーファッションウォッチ
限定版再生産

TV listings frequently feature specifics on motion, water resistance ratings, and comparisons to the real McCoy. The grid might lump watches in the company’s hands because particular manufacturers specialize in specific models.

ファクトリーアウトレット＆エレクトロニクス

携帯電話のアクセサリーとガジェット
オーディオ機器とヘッドフォン
コンピュータ周辺機器
ゲーミングアクセサリー
スマートホームデバイスと家電

Electronics items often contain performance and battery life tests and checkups on certain groups of functionality as well as lists of supported devices or systems. Quality concerns such as construction materials, strength, etc. are not forgotten.

小売および高級品

高級品
ハンドバッグ、ベルト、財布
大手ブランド名の靴とバッグ
貴重な宝石と時計
家庭用品とインテリアデコレーション
美しさと香り

The section of luxury includes much more detail, such as material quality, hardware accuracy, and overall craftsmanship in most cases. More specific ‘factories’ or batches might often be referred to since different manufacturers specialize in copying specific brands.

Tools to Be Paired With the CNFans Spreadsheet

プロキシ購入サービス

Superbuy/Wegobuy – Proxy buying agents that buy and ship items from Chinese platforms in your name.
CSSBuy – Known for cheap shipping rates and detailed QC photos.
Pandabuy – A relatively new service, but has a good interface and lower fees for beginners.
Sugargoo – Most known for fast customer service response and warehouse storage.

These services help resolve the basic problem of accessing Chinese markets by providing a warehouse address within China and handling purchases and shipment consolidation.

翻訳ヘルパー

Image Translators – Browser plugins or apps which translate Chinese text for item descriptions.
Google Translate Extension – Does real-time webpage translation.
Papago – Sometimes better than Google for Asian languages.
Taobao Field Translator – A browser extension tailored to the Taobao interface.

Translation tools are essential to help shoppers understand product details, seller policies, and customer reviews that would otherwise be hidden to English-only users.

コミュニティリソース

Subreddits: r/FashionReps, r/RepLadies, and r/ChinaTime — post updates and reviews regularly, often with spreadsheet links.
Discord: Live discussions, QC checks, and seller updates.
WhatsApp Groups: Seller-specific groups where buyers share updates and experiences.
Yupoo Albums: Sellers host full product galleries.

These resources act as the social infrastructure for the spreadsheet, sharing user experiences, scam alerts, and product insights.

QCアプリケーションとショッピングプロセス

小売比較ツール
測定コンバーター
Authentication Guides – Community-created for identifying common flaws.

Once items are with the proxy service, they can be inspected or photographed in detail to confirm color and size. These warehouse QC photos (arriving typically 2–7 days after seller shipment) can be compared with spreadsheet QC images.

配送と税関プロセス

Shipping Selection
Choose your shipping method based on budget, timing, and risk tolerance. Options range from budget (15–30 days) to express (5–10 days).

Customs Clearance
Customs rules vary, and the spreadsheet sometimes highlights items that may face scrutiny. Delivery can trigger VAT, import duties, or seizures — especially with replica goods.

Delivery and Review
Many users contribute back to the spreadsheet by adding reviews or updating entries with their experience.

法的および倫理的考慮事項

Not all items are replicas, but most are. It’s important to understand your local laws.

地域 - 法的枠組み

United States: Customs can seize counterfeits. Personal use may not be criminal, but importation can trigger penalties.
European Union: Fines in France/Italy, and the UK post-Brexit enforces strict anti-counterfeit policies.
Australia, Japan, South Korea: Strict enforcement, especially for commercial quantities.

There’s also an ethical dimension. Replicas hurt original creators — especially small designers. Some justify buying them as rebellion against artificial scarcity or unaffordable luxury. Decide where you stand.

レプリカコミュニティの区別:

ラグジュアリーコングロマリット対小規模デザイナー

市場抵抗とデザイン盗用

リスクと注意点

Like any crowdsourced tool, the CNFans Spreadsheet has limitations.

1. Outdated Links
Chinese marketplaces change fast. Sellers go offline, products disappear, or links die. Always check the “last updated” date.

2. Batch Variability
Even with QC photos, items may change. Factories tweak materials or molds. A good item today might have flaws next month.

3. Extra Costs
Superbuy and other agents have variable fees:

サービス料 (5–10%)
オプションのQC写真料金
通貨換算
梱包と取り扱い
Insurance

その200円($30)の商品は、手数料込みで$50–60程度になる可能性があります。.

4. Delays and Seizures
Expect long shipping times, potential customs issues, or VAT. COVID-19 and stricter laws have made international shipping less predictable.

5. Sizing Issues
Asian sizes differ. The spreadsheet helps (e.g., “size up 2x”), but advice is user-generated and subjective.

6. Communication Barriers
Different time zones, languages, and customer service styles complicate problem-solving. Proxy services help — but don’t eliminate these issues.

7. Verifying Authenticity
Even with QC photos, details like durability and stitching can only be confirmed in person. Always read current reviews and check seller credibility.

このスプレッドシートは、中国市場における情熱、スタイル、賢いショッピングに結集した広範なコミュニティの一部に過ぎません。フォーラム、ソーシャルチャネル、購入者間の助言がこれを支え、レプリカ及び低予算ファッションを扱う強力なエコシステムを形成しています。.

用語と専門用語

中国ショッピング界では独自の用語が発達しています：

GL/RL: Green Light (approve) or Red Light (reject) a QC
W2C: Where to Cop (buy)
GP: Guinea Pig — someone who tries a new product first
Haul: A collection of items shipped together
Fantasy Piece: An item never produced by the authentic brand

コミュニティのエチケット

中国レプリカシーンに参加する際の不文律：

自身の発見をコミュニティに還元すること
初心者支援のため購入レビューを詳細に共有すること
プライバシー尊重 — 個人情報の無断公開を避けること

シャドウバンとプラットフォームの課題

レプリカコミュニティは主要プラットフォームからの圧迫に直面しています：

Replica discussions are often deleted by social media sites
Accounts with replica-related activity may be frozen by payment processors
Content may be downranked or hidden by search engines

This fragmentation led to spreading across platforms — with the CNFans Spreadsheet emerging as a central, relatively stable hub.

CNFansスプレッドシート以外

CNFansが最高水準ではありますが、特定カテゴリ向けのニッチな代替手段も存在します。.

専門リスト

These tools are helpful but lack the community vetting and breadth of CNFans.

CNショッピングとスプレッドシートの未来

中国ショッピングの世界は進化を続けています。スプレッドシートに影響を与え得る主要トレンド：

オンラインプラットフォームの制限が高まる

海外購入者は制約の強化に直面。高度なプロキシサービスと技術的回避策の需要増大が見込まれます。.

強化された認証技術

ブランド側の偽造防止対策への投資拡大。これにより正規品とレプリカ生産の間で技術的軍拡競争が発生しています。.

製造業の変化

工場の中国国外（例：ベトナム、インドネシア）移転が進んでおり、スプレッドシートの中国中心主義の希薄化をもたらす可能性があります。.

ブロックチェーンと検証システム

Blockchain and smart verification tech might affect both replica identification and authentic product tracking.

変化にも関わらず、CNFansスプレッドシートは活発で適応性の高いコミュニティに支えられて進化を続け、複雑な全球Eコマース領域において貴重なツールであり続けるでしょう。.
