1. Finding the Right Items

Start by locating products through trusted sources:

Note:
Basetao is a buying agent, not a direct seller. You’ll need product links from external platforms or curated spreadsheets to shop.

2. Using Product Links and Reverse Image Search
  • If you have a product link:

    • Paste it into the Basetao search bar to locate the item.

  • If you don’t have a link:

    • Use Basetao’s reverse image search:

      • Upload a photo of the item.

      • Basetao will find visually similar products for you.

3. Understanding Product Details
  • Size and Color:

    • Refer to the size guide provided.

    • Add a note with your size preferences if needed.

  • Versions/Batches:

    • Products may have multiple batches with varying quality.

    • Use resources like Yupoo to compare images and choose the best option.

4. Viewing Quality Control (QC) Photos

To ensure the product meets your expectations:

  • Paste the product link into Basetao to view QC photos.

  • Inspect these photos for:

    • Material quality

    • Stitching and craftsmanship

    • Design accuracy

5. Calculating Costs

Use Basetao’s Estimator Tool to calculate your total cost:

  • Add items to your cart to see weight, size, and shipping costs.

6. Placing Your Order

When you’re ready to buy:

  1. Add items to your cart.

  2. Provide shipping details and choose your payment method.

Once your order is placed, it progresses through these stages:

  • Process Pending: Your order is under review.

  • Seller Sent: The seller ships the item to Basetao’s warehouse.

  • Warehouse Received: Basetao receives the item and uploads QC photos.
