What is the Kakobuy Spreadsheet?

The Kakobuy Spreadsheet is a community-driven Google Sheet tracking Taobao reps via Kakobuy middleman. It rates outfits on QC, pricing, and reliability. Used by rep enthusiasts on Reddit, Discord, and TikTok for decisions.

Key Influencers and Reviewers

• Sneaker influencers: Repgawker, LegitCheck x Reps posters – praised for PFP reviews, criticized for ignored batches.
• TikTok creators: @rep_addict, @taobao_haulz – viral unboxings, but accused of scripted hype.
• YouTube reviewers: RepHouse, CustomBaws – detailed comparisons, embroiled in seller payout scandals.
• Reddit mods/creators: FashionReps spreadsheets admins – gatekeepers accused of bias.

Major Controversies

QC Discrepancies and Batch Hell

Debate rages: Spreadsheet lists 'God batches' like PK God, but reviews show variance. Influencers post pristine pics; buyers get duds. Example: LJR batch Air Jordan hype leads to 30% complaint rate.

Paid Promotions and Bias Claims

Influencers receive free items from sellers. 2023 exposé on RepDiscord revealed PMs offerings 10-20% commissions. Creator @dupeking banned from Reddit after admitting ties.

Spreadsheet Gatekeeping

Admins remove low-rated outfits without votes. Accusations of favoritism to 'friendly' sellers. 2024 petition for public editing hit 500 signatures, ignored.

Scammer Exposés Gone Wrong

Reviewers name-and-shame sellers (e.g., Monkey Time batches). Backlash: Sellers hire bot farms, creators get doxx threats. Legal talks on Chinese platforms brewing.

Community Debates

• Transparency: Should influencers disclose sponsorships? 70% community vote yes (Discord poll).
• Alternatives: Rise of Wegobuy sheets challenges Kakobuy dominance amid claims of kickbacks.
• Newbie vs. Vet: Noobs trust TikTok hype; vets demand W2C lists vetted by spreadsheet only.
• Sustainability: Push for video QC mandates – current 2D pics fuel disputes.
