Basetao Spreadsheet
Basetao offers Link, Image and Keyword as separate search starts, alongside Buy for me and Ship for me. Match those choices to what you already know about the item.
Browse categoriesDo I have a Basetao product reference, an image or goods ready for forwarding?
Begin with a link, picture or keyword, then explore the purchase and forwarding options.
Link, Image and Keyword inputs
A seller link points toward a particular offer. An image can find visual candidates, while a keyword may return several related products. Reaching a plausible result is only the beginning of choosing a seller and variant.
Buy for me versus Ship for me
Buy for me concerns a requested seller purchase. Ship for me is the different starting point when you have already bought goods elsewhere. Keep the existing seller order separate from the later forwarding record.
Splitting and combining in the warehouse context
Basetao publicly describes splitting and combining orders in a warehouse context. The decision depends on what has actually arrived, its packaging needs and where it is going, not on the number of saved links.
QC photos versus seller images
QC photographs belong to received goods. A seller image or visually similar image result can help discovery, but it cannot replace a photo of the item associated with your own order.
Browse products by type
Browse by item type when a visual search is too broad.
From result to order
Start with a Link, Image or Keyword and inspect the seller offer.
Basetao search questions
Does a picture supply the same information as a seller URL?
No. A picture helps find candidates; a seller URL points to a particular listing whose options can be read.
Does Ship for me require an agent purchase?
No. Ship for me concerns goods you already bought; Buy for me is the separate purchase service.
