How we write and update our guides
Every guide on pinduoduoproducts.com shows the date it was last updated and lists the sources it relies on, with the date each source was read. Claims we could not confirm are left out or labelled as unconfirmed. This follows the same approach as the JTLGO editorial policy.
Who is responsible
The Pinduoduo Products editorial team, operated by CONNECT FIVE TRADING LIMITED, is responsible for the structure, clarity, citations and updates of every guide. It keeps what a source reports separate from what the buying service does, checks that each cited link supports the sentence next to it, and records a material update by changing the visible date.
Review status
No named author or reviewer is shown on a guide. A reviewer is shown only after an operational review and its completion date have been recorded, and no such review has been recorded for the current guides. They have been checked against the sources listed on each page; they have not been reviewed by a named subject expert. Where a guide describes what the buying service does, the Terms of Service and your written quote apply.
What a guide must make clear
- Claim basis. What a company, regulator or news source reports is kept separate from our own guidance and from the terms of the buying service.
- Source proximity. A claim links to the page that supports it, not to an unrelated homepage, and the list at the bottom of the page gives the date we read it.
- Evidence boundaries. When we found no official statement, for example whether foreign cards can register on Pinduoduo, the guide says so instead of guessing. Rumours, forum posts and app-store reviews are not treated as sources.
- Freshness. A material change updates the visible date and the structured data. A formatting or deployment change does not count as a new review.
Evidence hierarchy
- Company filings and official pages, for facts about a company.
- Regulators, courts and official consumer bodies, for legal and safety findings.
- App-store listings and platform or device help pages, for what an app or a phone feature does.
- Established news reports, named and dated, where no primary source exists. We label them as reports.
AI-assisted work
Software, including AI tools, may help us organise research, translate, format or prepare drafts. It is not treated as a source, and every factual statement stays subject to the checks above. Pictures on guide pages are illustrations of typical situations, not photographs of real customer orders or events.
What readers should not infer
Links to the quote form, WhatsApp or the buying service are commercial next steps, not independent endorsements. We do not rank Pinduoduo, Temu, Taobao or any platform by price or reliability. Guides give general information, not legal, tax, customs or financial advice. Prices, availability, app features and policies change, so an example or an estimate is not a guaranteed result.
Corrections
To report a material error or a missing source, contact us with the page address, the statement in question and the source that supports a correction. We update the guide when the evidence supports it and change its date.
