Source-link audit

Audit the Link Chain Behind a Yupoo Album

Links placed near one another are not automatically the same item. Treat each page as a separate claim until the details line up.

Quick answer

Save the album, raw marketplace source, and agent-formatted page in separate fields. Compare item code, category, option, visible details, seller or store page, quantity basis, and price context. If one link changes or fails, keep the mismatch visible.

Three common links

Name the role before comparing the page

Album

Useful for photos, captions, item codes, presentation, watermarks, and contact observations.

Raw source

A Taobao, Weidian, 1688, or other relevant listing that may expose the seller page, options, and price basis.

Agent-formatted page

A separate service’s representation of another listing. Imported details may be translated, delayed, or incomplete.

Match the item

Compare the details in a fixed order

  1. Category: confirm that every page describes the same product family.
  2. Item code: preserve punctuation and spacing, then note any variant.
  3. Option: compare color, size, material, set contents, or model.
  4. Visible construction: use category-specific details rather than one attractive image.
  5. Seller or store page: record the identity shown on the raw source without treating it as verification.
  6. Price basis: attach currency, quantity, option, inclusions, and check date.

When the chain breaks

Source missing

Keep the album as presentation evidence only. Do not invent a raw marketplace connection or copy a similar source from another row.

Source changed

Record the new destination, the check date, and exactly what no longer matches. Preserve the old URL as history when it helps explain the row.

Agent page disagrees

Return to the raw source. A different option, seller, quantity, or price means the reformatted link needs correction before use.

Album disappeared

Mark the page unavailable. A remaining source can still be checked, but it no longer proves what the album used to show.

One-sentence audit rule

A link chain is useful only when you can say which page supports each fact and which part of the connection is still uncertain.
