Every category in the index, and what decides each one

The catalogue in four numbers

What the index currently holds, by category and in total. These figures come straight from the snapshot and are stamped with the time they were read.

11,414Listings recorded
across every category in the snapshot
8Categories
each with its own index page and filter set
2,176Largest category
T-Shirts, and the one that most needs filtering
120Smallest category
Other-stuff, where scanning beats searching
The gap between the largest and smallest category is the reason one filter order cannot serve both. A category with two thousand rows is a search problem; one with a hundred is a browsing problem.

Pick the entry point that matches your intent

Four ways in, each with a different cost in time.

Largest categories first Highest risk category Cheapest to experiment Everything, unfiltered

If you have ten minutes, start with a specific category. If you have an hour and no idea, start with popular and let the catalogue suggest a direction rather than choosing one abstractly.

All eight categories with counts

The same tiles as the shop guide, repeated here so this page can be used as a standalone index.

T-Shirts NaN items in the index the largest category by count, and the one where print placement is the whole decision Hoodies & Sweaters NaN items in the index weight and fabric decide whether it is a spring layer or a winter one Shoes NaN items in the index the category with the most failure modes, and the one a checklist genuinely helps with Pants & Shorts NaN items in the index measurements do the work here; the listing photo rarely does Jackets 899 items in the index fill, hardware and lining are what you are actually paying for Accessories 885 items in the index small, high margin, and where a fake is hardest to spot in a photo Headwear 276 items in the index cheap to try and easy to get wrong on size rather than looks Other Stuff 120 items in the index mixed, small, and occasionally where the best value hides

Counts reflect the snapshot of 23 Oct 2026.

What to check first inside each kind of category

Five criteria that reorder the work depending on how big and how risky the category is.

How many rows the category holds
Above roughly a thousand, filtering beats scrolling by an order of magnitude. Below a few hundred, scrolling finds things a filter would hide.
Where to look: The count on each category tile.
Whether the category has a measurable failure mode
Shoes fail on sizing and sole shape; tops fail on print placement; accessories fail on hardware. Categories with a named failure mode justify a checklist.
Where to look: The category's own index page and the QC checklists.
Whether price dispersion is wide
A category where everything costs the same is a style choice. One spanning a factor of fifty is a decision that rewards reading the row carefully.
Where to look: The price column, sorted dearest and cheapest on each page.
Whether the same item appears in several categories
A keychain in Accessories and in Other-stuff is one decision seen twice, not two options. Duplicate sightings are common in mixed catalogues.
Where to look: Two category pages open side by side.
Whether you can tell the source platform
The source platform tells you how the listing behaves — a Weidian shop and a Taobao listing are bought and returned differently.
Where to look: The source platform shown on each recorded listing.

Applied in this order, the first criterion usually decides the rest: it tells you whether you are searching or browsing.

Category questions

Four answers about picking a category.

Why are there only eight categories?
Because that is the set the catalogue itself publishes and indexes against. Inventing finer buckets would mean re-sorting listings by guesswork, which would make the counts on these pages less true rather than more useful.
What is in Other-stuff?
Everything the catalogue has not filed elsewhere — small mixed items, one-off listings, and occasionally the best value in the whole index, because nothing is competing for attention there. There is no consistent checklist for it, so the category page offers three judgement rules instead.
Can I filter by brand inside a category?
Yes, and it is worth doing in the large categories where a brand cut removes most of the noise. Brand data is incomplete, though — roughly half of listings carry none — so treat a brand filter as narrowing, not as exhaustive.
Do the counts match the source site exactly?
No, and they are not meant to. They are what the index recorded at a point in time. Counts and prices on this page come from one reading of the Oopbuy spreadsheet index on 23 Oct 2026 (11,414 rows indexed then). The index moves; a number here is a record, not a live reading.
