How to Document a Changed Yupoo Item Code Before Purchase
Keep old and new seller item codes with their source URLs and dates, then ask whether the changed label still identifies the selected product.
Identify the exact question
A code can change in an album, purchase listing or seller message. It may indicate a harmless rename or a different product; neither conclusion follows automatically. Keep the original code and its source, then add the new code in another dated field rather than overwriting the old record.
Record the evidence
- Compare seller identity and current item URL.
- Record exact spelling, suffix and punctuation.
- Compare selected photo and option labels.
- Ask whether both codes identify the same current variant.
Decide what to send next
If the seller confirms a replacement code, update the handling service with the complete current item and ask which request version it will use. If the relationship remains unclear, keep the purchase pending. Matching photos alone do not prove code identity or current availability.
A concrete example
If a caption changes from code A to code A-2, preserve both strings and their dates. Ask whether A-2 replaces A for the same colour and size instead of assuming the suffix is only an editorial edit.
