    Telegram (https://t.me/repfashionfinds) and Fashion Reps subreddit are great platforms for discovering products.

  • These communities often share product links, comparisons, and spreadsheets with curated finds.

If you don’t have a link:

  • Use the reverse image search feature:

    • Upload a photo of the desired item.

    • Basetao will find similar products based on your image.

3. Understanding Product Details

On the product page, you'll find key details about:

  • Size and Color: Follow the provided size guide or add a note specifying your size preferences.

  • Versions/Batches: Different versions of products may vary in quality. Use platforms like Yupoo to compare images and choose the best batch for your needs.

To ensure the product meets your expectations:

  • Paste the product link into Basetao to view QC photos.
