The Rep Glossary: W2C, QC, GL/RL, Batches & Every Term Decoded

Finds communities run on shorthand. Here's the working vocabulary, so a spreadsheet note like "W2C? GL'd the QC, TTS, new batch" reads as a sentence.

Finding things

• W2C— "Where to cop": a request for the purchase link to an item. The answer is usually a Taobao/Weidian link — or a row on the spreadsheet.
• Finds — discovered items worth sharing; spreadsheet — a curated list of them (classically a Google Sheet; SPREE is the living version).
• Yupoo — an image-hosting site sellers use as photo catalogs. Not a store: buying goes through an agent, never by paying a seller directly.
• Item ID — the number inside a Taobao/Weidian URL; the stable key that link converters re-wrap between agents without changing seller or price.

Quality control

• QC / PSP— quality-check photos (pre-shipment photos) the agent's warehouse takes of your actual item before international shipping.
• GL / RL — green light / red light: the verdict to approve or reject an item based on its QC photos.
• LC — legit check; GP — guinea pig (the first buyer to test an unreviewed item); B&S — bait-and-switch, when the shipped item differs from the listing.
• Green mat— the colored warehouse mat agents shoot QC photos on; the visual signature of real in-hand photography (it's what the gold Reviewed badge on SPREE means).
• Batch— a specific factory production run. Quality is judged per batch, not per seller: "follow the batch, not the seller."
• TTS — true to size. Trust it less than measurements; see CN sizing decoded.

Shipping & money

• Haul — a consolidated multi-item parcel (and the post showing it off); consolidation — combining warehouse items into one parcel to pay the expensive first-weight bracket once.
• Line — a specific shipping route/carrier option; volumetric weight — billable weight from parcel dimensions (L×W×H ÷ a divisor, commonly 5000–6000); carriers charge the greater of actual vs volumetric.
• DDP / DDU — delivered duty paid (duties in the freight price) vs unpaid (customs bills you on arrival). De minimis — a duty-free import threshold; the US suspended its $800 threshold in 2025 (see the customs guide).
• Top-up — pre-loading an agent wallet balance; declared value— the customs declaration value (declare honestly — it's also your insurance basis).
• 1:1— a claimed "perfect" replica. Community wisdom: treat the term as marketing, not fact.
