Album
Useful for photos, captions, item codes, presentation, watermarks, and contact observations.
Source-link audit
Links placed near one another are not automatically the same item. Treat each page as a separate claim until the details line up.
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
Useful for photos, captions, item codes, presentation, watermarks, and contact observations.
A Taobao, Weidian, 1688, or other relevant listing that may expose the seller page, options, and price basis.
A separate service’s representation of another listing. Imported details may be translated, delayed, or incomplete.
Match the item
When the chain breaks
Keep the album as presentation evidence only. Do not invent a raw marketplace connection or copy a similar source from another row.
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.
Return to the raw source. A different option, seller, quantity, or price means the reformatted link needs correction before use.
Mark the page unavailable. A remaining source can still be checked, but it no longer proves what the album used to show.
A link chain is useful only when you can say which page supports each fact and which part of the connection is still uncertain.
