Separates official studios, resellers, deposits, and risky unknown sellers
China listing risk check

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.
