Agent Link → Item ID: Recover the Original Listing From Any Agent Link

Updated · by the Alibaba Spreadsheet editors

Short answer

Every agent link is a wrapper around a marketplace listing, and somewhere inside it are two things: the platform (Weidian, Taobao, Tmall or 1688) and the item ID. Paste links below — one or a whole spreadsheet column — and the converter pulls out both and rebuilds the original listing link, which any working agent accepts. It's built for 2026's dead links: CNFans closed in August, AllChinaBuy and WeGoBuy are offline, ACBuy's status is unclear and JoyaBuy is now JoyaGoo. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Open one of these on repbuysheet.com, copy its address and paste it below — the converter reads the Weidian ID straight out of it. These 8 finds are hand-picked for this page; browse 10,000+ products when you want the long list.

Sponsored links. Photos, names and buttons open the listing on repbuysheet.com, with every photo, the size options and the seller link. Prices are that catalog's USD and CNY figures at the time of our check.

Paste links to recover the original listings

Recognises Weidian, Taobao, Tmall and 1688 links; agent links that contain them, including URL-encoded ones; links that carry a platform name and an ID parameter; and repbuysheet.com's links, which end in the Weidian ID. Shortened links (bit.ly and similar) need opening first so you can copy the full address. Lines that can't be converted are left blank in the list so rows stay aligned.

What's inside an agent link?

Agents format links differently, but they all have to tell their own system which marketplace item you mean. That leaves three common patterns:

  • The whole original address, encoded. Look for url= followed by https%3A%2F%2Fweidian.com… — %3A and %2F are a colon and a slash. AllChinaBuy-style links often look like this.
  • A platform and an ID as parameters. Something like platform=WEIDIAN&id=7612345678. Many agent share links use this form.
  • An ID at the end of a path. repbuysheet.com links end in the Weidian ID followed by "rep", for example …-7627094110rep.

The converter decodes the link up to three times (some are double-encoded), looks for a known marketplace address first, then falls back to a platform name plus an ID parameter.

What to do with the original link

  1. Paste it — or just the ID — into a working agent's search bar. See which agents are working this month.
  2. Open the listing and pick the exact variant; old spreadsheets rarely say which colour or print a row meant.
  3. Check the size chart with the size decoder.
  4. Estimate the parcel's landed cost with the estimator before you commit.

Link converter questions

How do I turn an agent link into a Weidian link?

Paste it into the converter. It finds the Weidian item ID and rebuilds weidian.com/item.html?itemID= plus the ID, which any working agent accepts.

Do CNFans spreadsheet links still work?

Not at CNFans, which closed in August 2026. The item ID inside each link still works: convert it and paste the original link into another agent.

Can I convert a whole spreadsheet column?

Yes. Paste one link per line and you get one original link per line back, in the same order, ready to paste into your sheet. Lines that can't be converted are left blank.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The converter runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Why couldn't it find an ID in my link?

Some agents use internal product numbers that don't contain the marketplace ID, and short links need opening first. If the seller deleted the listing, no agent can buy it.

Which agents accept the converted links?

Most working agents accept Weidian and Taobao links, and many accept 1688. Check this month's status in our spreadsheet index.
