Label every page by what it actually does
| Page | Likely role | What it cannot prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Yupoo album item | Photos, captions and visible clues | Current source, seller reliability or checkout terms |
| Catalog result | Discovery and possible onward links | That an external listing is synchronized |
| Marketplace listing | Option, price or transaction context | That it belongs to the album item |
| Agent-ready route | Opening a source inside another service | That the reformatted route preserved every item detail |
Capture the chain before opening more tabs
Record the starting URL, every destination URL, page role and date checked. Keep the raw marketplace URL when possible. A copied title is not a substitute for the link because titles can be reused and pages can redirect.
If a link changes host, path or item identifier, record that transition. A redirect is part of the evidence, not invisible plumbing.
Run four match tests
- Identity: do the product codes, model clues or distinctive details agree?
- Option: do color, size, material, quantity and included parts describe the same choice?
- Visual context: do construction details and proportions align beyond a generic silhouette?
- Page context: does the source page still show a usable listing, relevant seller and understandable terms?
A strong match needs several independent agreements. Similar photos alone are not enough.
Give the chain one clear status
Status describes the link chain, not product quality or seller trust.
Treat redirects and reformatted links as separate evidence
When a URL is rewritten for another service, compare the destination item ID, selected option and source host with the raw link. If the service cannot expose the original source, mark that link incomplete rather than assuming the conversion is correct.
Handle several possible sources without choosing too early
An album may point to several marketplace pages, or search may produce multiple candidates. Keep each branch separate. Record why each candidate might match and the first contradictory detail. Do not merge evidence across branches.
If none has a stable identifier, return the status “incomplete” and choose the smallest useful question, such as requesting the raw item link or exact code.
When the photos match but the code does not
An album caption shows code JX-22 and a navy option. The linked marketplace page uses the same main photos but defaults to black and displays code JX-28. The visual similarity is supporting context, while the different code is contrary evidence.
The correct status is mismatched until a direct source for JX-22 is provided. The note should not claim that the navy option is available or that the page is an acceptable substitute.
Keep the link trail in one place
- Starting page
- Exact album or catalog URL
- Source route
- Raw listing URL and any redirect
- Identity match
- Codes and distinctive details
- Option match
- Color, size, material, quantity and parts
- Contrary evidence
- Any mismatch or missing field
- Status
- Aligned, incomplete, mismatched or unavailable
- Next action
- One check that could change the status
Use the order-link guide for page roles and the safety guide when contact or payment becomes part of the chain.
