CNFans spreadsheet answers, filed by how hard the question is
Most writing about the CNFans link table mixes three different questions into one page: what the thing is, what it costs once you are inside it, and what to do when something has already gone wrong. This desk keeps them apart. Pick the rung your order is actually on and you will only be reading entries that apply to you.
Search the 48 entries on this desk. Item names work better than platform names when you follow a result through to the live table.

- Rung 1What is a CNFans spreadsheet, exactly?KB-2026-11 · 2026-09-30
It is a table of links, not a shop and not a file you download. Each row points at one listing on a domestic marketplace, with the few details that row needed to be useful. The buying itself happens on the agent platform, which is a separate object from the table you are reading.
- Rung 1How is the link table laid out, column by column?KB-2026-11 · 2026-09-30
Most tables run left to right: a row number, the link, a short title, the variant, then a date. Past that the order varies by author. Treat the first four columns as the identity of the row and everything further right as commentary, because authorship and maintenance differ from table to table.
- Rung 1What does each column actually tell you?KB-2026-08 · 2026-09-30
Treat every header as a claim rather than a fact. Numeric columns with a stated method are worth the most, seller wording is worth the least, and a status column is only as good as its date. Where two columns disagree, the one with a method and a date wins.

What this desk files, and what it refuses to file
Every entry here starts from a question somebody actually typed, and the first paragraph answers it before any background. If an answer cannot state a figure, a deadline or a check you can run yourself, it does not get filed — the desk would rather be short than padded.
| # | Gets an entry | Does not get an entry |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | A question with a decision attached: consolidate or split, declare or not, return or keep | A question with no decision attached: whether a brand is fashionable, what is trending this week |
| 02 | A figure with a stated source type, a check date and a batch number | A figure quoted from another site without a way to verify it |
| 03 | A rare path with a deadline that decides the outcome | A rare path described only as "contact support" |
| 04 | A method you can run yourself in four steps | A conclusion that depends on trusting this desk |
The right-hand column is not a judgement about importance. It is a list of things the desk has no way to verify.
Why the rungs follow your situation, not the subject
Sorting by subject would put customs, weight and quality in three separate piles, and you would still have to guess which pile matters today. Sorting by situation asks one question first: has money moved yet? Before payment you need definitions. After payment you need arithmetic. After something has gone wrong you need deadlines.
- Rung 1 · Basics — You have not placed an order yet, or you have one sitting in the cart and nothing else. 16 entries.
- Rung 2 · Working — You already have at least one paid order and you are deciding what to do with it. 20 entries.
- Rung 3 · Edge cases — Something has already gone wrong, or the value at stake is high enough that you want the rare path written down first. 12 entries.
Where the figures come from, and what a batch number means
Numbers on this desk belong to one of five source types: a line tariff, a customs threshold, a platform policy, a count of reported arrivals, or a measurement run done for this desk. Each is allowed a different level of precision, which is why duty appears as a band and a transit time appears as a window rather than a single confident figure.
Changes are recorded by batch. A batch opens when a piece of work starts and closes with a list of what moved; entries then carry the batch they were last re-read in. That is how you can tell whether two pages were checked on the same day or six months apart — and it is why a figure you disagree with has somewhere specific to be challenged.
What you will not find here
Nothing is sold, ordered, packed or shipped by this desk. There are no prices, no stock levels and no countdowns, because none of those things can be verified from outside a warehouse. Links that leave this desk lead to a live table, are marked as commercial in the page itself, and open in a new tab so you keep the entry you were reading.
The desk also does not tell you whether any platform is still trading. Community reports about that exist and are easy to find; what is missing is a way to check them. So the entries that touch platform status publish the check instead of the verdict: domain and certificate, whether pages and endpoints still return data, whether a payment route still works, and whether order states are still moving.
How to use the desk in ten minutes
- Read the rung that matches your situation, not the rung that sounds most interesting.
- Open the gauge your question points at and put your own numbers in — the defaults are only a starting point.
- Check the measured tally before choosing a size; the step between two labelled sizes is often smaller than the label implies.
- Note the batch number on any entry you plan to act on, so a later correction is easy to trace.
- If a figure looks wrong, send the entry address, the batch and your source through the corrections page.

Latest long-form notes
- Rung 1What the table actually is, and what it was never meant to do㉖ · 1670 words
A CNFans spreadsheet is a hand-kept list of store links with working notes attached, and the useful question is never what it is but what it can be asked to prove.
- Rung 1Reading a row in ninety seconds㉕ · 1425 words
Ninety seconds is enough to read one table row properly, provided you spend them on four fields in a fixed order instead of on the whole line at once.
- Rung 1A first order, walked through step by step④ · 1695 words
A first order moves through six checkpoints, and each checkpoint has one question, one piece of evidence and one thing you should write down before moving on.
When you are ready to look at items rather than rules
The desk stops at method. The live table is where the actual links, categories and search sit — search it with an item name rather than a platform name and you will get results.
