Litbuy spreadsheet dead links: what they mean and what to do
Dead links are normal in any active Litbuy spreadsheet. Sellers remove products, move listings, swap batches, or stop supporting a specific item. The goal is not zero dead rows forever—the goal is to catch and replace them quickly.
Why rows go stale
Chinese marketplace listings change frequently. A seller may remove a page, relist the same product under a new URL, or replace an old batch with a newer version that makes the previous row less useful.
- Temporary listing removals can happen after sales or stock changes.
- Some rows stay visible longer than the source listing does.
- A better replacement can make an older row effectively stale.
How dead links are usually handled
Stale rows are typically marked or removed during refresh passes. When a row is clearly outdated, it is better to replace it with a cleaner option than leave a misleading result in the hub.
What buyers should do
- Open the link before you assume a row is still active.
- If the item is gone, search the category for an updated version.
- Use Discord to report a dead row if you want it reviewed faster.
- Do not submit obviously broken links into Litbuy.
Good habit for spreadsheet users
Treat the spreadsheet as a curated discovery layer, not a guarantee that every row is permanent. That mindset helps you move faster when a seller changes inventory and prevents wasted time during checkout.
If you want the most current view, go straight to the live hub, then cross-check with community feedback when a link looks uncertain.
