7 of 20 Spreadsheet Links Died Before I Paid Domestic ¥8: Live-Batch Filter That Saves Money
Reddit Sheet 38% dead after 90 days, Kakox 4%. Dead = '商品已下架' after paying domestic. The seller-age + photo-count filter inside.
2,400 links tracked Jan-Mar 2026. Kakox 4% because it prunes daily 04:00 UTC + keeps 6 haul photos median S-tier.
What “dead” actually costs you (real ¥ loss)
Dead = you pay domestic ¥8, seller auto-refunds in 5 days but agent keeps ¥8 domestic no-return unless QC flagged. We paid 7 × ¥8 = ¥56 on 20 Reddit links = $7.86 sunk. On 50-row bulk = ¥112 sunk. That’s one hoodie burned.

3-step pre-pay ritual (add to your sheet hygiene)
ACBuy 9s test parse 5 before paying 50. One dead → skip batch.
Last haul <14 days = live. >90 days = dead seller.
Spreadsheet Health Checker → flags dead + suggests live factory replacement via image search (+¥30 cheaper on 1688).
