Sizing is one of the most common areas where new OopBuy buyers make mistakes. Chinese manufacturing sizing standards differ from US standards, and even within Chinese sellers, there's variation. This guide consolidates community-tested sizing guidance for the most common product categories on the OopBuy spreadsheet.
Shoe Sizing on OopBuy
Sneaker sizing on OopBuy typically uses EU sizing or US sizing as labeled by the seller. Community consensus on how Chinese reps convert to US sizes:
| Jordan 1 / Dunk Low | True to US size. Order your normal US size. |
| Yeezy 350 V2 | Slightly narrow. Half size up recommended for wide feet. |
| Air Force 1 | True to size. Order your normal US size. |
| Air Max 90/95 | True to size for most sizes. Check community thread for specific colorways. |
| Jordan 4 | True to size, but toe box can feel snug — some prefer half size up. |
| New Balance 550 | Half size up recommended — runs slightly small in Chinese batches. |
Clothing Sizing: The Golden Rule
The most consistent advice from the OopBuy Reddit community for clothing: size up one from your typical US size for Chinese-manufactured garments. This applies to hoodies, tees, sweatpants, and jackets.
However, "size up" is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee. The best approach is to get your actual measurements and compare against the specific listing's size chart — which OopBuy sellers typically include in the product detail. Chest, shoulder width, and body length are the three most important measurements for tops.
For items where the seller provides a size chart in centimeters, use this formula: measure yourself in centimeters, compare directly to the chart, and if you're between sizes, go up.
Sizing Red Flags in QC Photos
During QC review, these visual clues can help you catch sizing issues before shipment:
Visible tension or pulling on chest/shoulder area suggests the item runs small
Excess fabric or bagginess in photos suggests the item runs large for its tag size
Asymmetric logo placement can indicate the garment was cut off-grain (affects fit)
Shoe toe box looks excessively boxy or narrow — sign of poor last matching
Many experienced buyers order 2-3 sizes when trying a new seller for the first time (sending back the wrong fits). This is expensive but effective for sellers you plan to use repeatedly.
Final Thoughts
Getting sizing right on OopBuy is mostly about two things: following the "size up" rule for clothing, and using community threads to verify specific models before buying. Once you know what works for a particular seller, repeat orders become much easier.
