China listing risk check
Taobao BJD source check before you pay a China listing.
A low BJD listing price is not enough. Check the seller, studio claim, preorder terms, included parts, recast risk, and final landed cost before sending money.
Use this before sourcing parts.
Guide ranges cannot establish the specifications of an individual item.
Prevents confusing a deposit or waitlist with ready inventory
Avoids paying for a basic doll when you expected a fullset
Flags listings that should not enter a normal collector order
Before matching, check the details
What a source check should answer
- Is the listing from a believable seller or studio route?
- Is the price a deposit, balance, second-hand item, or complete sale price?
- Does the listing include the exact faceup, eyes, wig, outfit, hands, certificate, and box shown in photos?
When to pause before ordering
- The listing uses copied official photos but gives no source proof.
- The title says fullset but details exclude faceup, wig, outfit, or shoes.
- The seller cannot confirm stock, wait time, or packing before payment.
Ready to check the fit?
ⓘ Other families need different checks. Cotton dolls: check height, body type and outfit opening. Larger sizes: check footprint, support and packing route.
