What Is the Fishgoo Spreadsheet
The Fishgoo Spreadsheet is a curated product guide built for shoppers who want clarity before they buy. Instead of scrolling through endless listings, you get a clean table with verified items, sizing notes, and quality highlights. Each row represents a real product that our team has compared across multiple sellers. We focus on accuracy, consistency, and value so you spend less time guessing and more time wearing what you love.
At its core, the spreadsheet is a living document. We update rows weekly as new batches arrive, sellers improve, or items sell out. This means the data you see today reflects the current market, not outdated screenshots from months ago. The goal is simple: give you a reliable reference point before you open a chat with a seller or place an order through your agent.
Shopping through a Chinese e-commerce agent like Fishgoo can feel overwhelming if you are new. The language barrier, sizing differences, and lack of return policies make every purchase feel like a gamble. The Fishgoo Spreadsheet removes that uncertainty by giving you pre-filtered, pre-reviewed items with notes from real buyers. Think of it as a friend who already bought the item and is telling you whether it is worth your money.

Reading the Columns Correctly
Every Fishgoo Spreadsheet follows a standard column layout to keep comparisons easy. The first column is the product name and a short description. Next comes the seller alias, which is a shorthand code we use to protect seller privacy while still letting us track consistency. The price column is listed in the original currency with an approximate conversion note. After that, you will see sizing notes, which often include comments like size up once or fits oversized. These notes come from real buyer feedback and our own sample checks when available.
Further to the right, you will find quality tags and batch notes. Quality tags range from budget to premium, giving you a quick sense of where the item sits in the market. Batch notes tell you whether the current row reflects the latest production run or an older version that might differ slightly. If a row has a warning tag, it means we noticed a common issue such as color drift, thin fabric, or off sizing and we want you to know before you commit.
One pro tip for new users is to sort the spreadsheet by your priority column. If you care most about price, sort by the price column. If you care about sizing accuracy, sort by the sizing confidence score. The default view is sorted by sort level, which is our internal ranking based on a mix of popularity, quality, and community demand. You can always reset to default if your custom sort gets confusing.

Decoding Seller Notes and Abbreviations
Seller notes in the Fishgoo Spreadsheet use a set of abbreviations designed to save space while keeping meaning clear. For example, TTS means true to size, while OS stands for oversized. GL is used when a product gets a green light from our review process, and RL means red light due to quality concerns. You will also see fabric codes like CVC for cotton-poly blends, and weight markers like GSM which refer to grams per square meter of fabric.
Understanding these abbreviations helps you read the sheet quickly without opening every product link. We keep a legend at the top of each spreadsheet, but most returning users memorize the common ones after a few visits. If you ever see a note you do not recognize, the best approach is to search the spreadsheet page for that abbreviation or check the FAQ section at the bottom. We update the legend whenever we introduce a new tag so it stays current.
Some abbreviations are category-specific. In the shoe spreadsheet, you might see TPU for thermoplastic polyurethane soles, or EVA for ethylene-vinyl acetate midsoles. In the accessories sheet, YKK refers to zipper brand quality. These niche abbreviations are less critical for beginners but become valuable as you specialize in a category. Our guides category has deep dives for each abbreviation family if you want to study them in detail.
Picking the Right Size the First Time
Sizing is the biggest challenge when shopping through an agent, and the Fishgoo Spreadsheet addresses it with multiple data points. First, check the sizing note column for general guidance such as size up once. Second, look at the measurement column if we have added a size chart. Third, read the batch notes to see if sizing changed in recent production runs. Some items shrink after a wash, and we mark those with a wash shrink note so you can plan accordingly.
If you are between sizes, our rule of thumb is to follow the sizing note first, then the measurement chart, and finally the wash shrink warning. For items with no measurement data yet, we recommend ordering based on the sizing note and leaving a small margin. You can also check the community feedback linked in some rows to see how other buyers with similar measurements felt about the fit. Over time, these small habits lead to fewer returns and better fitting clothes.
For international shoppers, converting Asian sizing to Western sizing adds another layer of confusion. A large in China is often closer to a medium in the United States or Europe. Our spreadsheet includes a conversion note column that maps the labeled size to a more familiar regional equivalent. We base these conversions on real measurements rather than label assumptions, which makes them more reliable than generic size charts found on retail websites.
