W2C Links Explained: How to Find and Use Want-to-Copy Links
W2C links are the backbone of the rep community. Discover how to find, verify, and use W2C links to purchase reps through your shopping agent with confidence.
What Does W2C Mean?
W2C stands for Want to Copy. In the rep community, a W2C link is the product URL from a Chinese marketplace like Weidian, Taobao, or Yupoo that allows someone else to purchase the same item. When someone posts a photo of their new rep sneakers or hoodie and you ask W2C? you are asking for the link so you can buy it too. W2C links are the lifeblood of rep communities because they enable verification, price comparison, and collective quality tracking. A single good W2C link can help hundreds of people find the same batch from the same seller. The challenge is that these links can break, sellers can change inventory, and not all links lead to quality products. That is why curated spreadsheets like SuperBuy Spreadsheet exist. We verify each link, track seller reputation, and ensure the products listed are actually worth buying.
How to Use a W2C Link
Copy the Link
Right-click the W2C link and copy it. On mobile, long-press and select Copy Link. Make sure you get the full URL, not a shortened version.
Paste in Agent
Log into your shopping agent account and navigate to the Buy For Me or Purchase page. Paste the full W2C link into the URL field.
Select Options
Choose size, color, and any other variants. Add notes if needed, such as Request QC photos of insole or Size up one for oversized fit.
Submit & Pay
Review your order details, confirm the price matches the listing, and submit payment. The agent will purchase the item within 24 hours.
