What this site is, and what it is not
What it is
ACBuy Sheet Ledger is an information and tools site about one narrow problem: what happens to the addresses in an ACBuy sheet now that the platform that issued them no longer accepts orders. It publishes a weekly record of what a sample of those addresses does when it is requested, a ledger of platforms that can still take a rebuilt address, and a small set of calculators for the work in between.
Everything on the site is written to be checked by someone else. Where a claim rests on a measurement, the sample size and the date travel with it. Where a claim rests on a public source, the source is named. Where neither is available, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
What it is not
It is not a shop. Nothing is sold here, no orders are taken, and there is no cart, no stock and no checkout. The site does not hold inventory and cannot ship anything.
It is not an agent and not affiliated with one. It cannot place an order, look up an account, resolve a dispute or release a parcel. Anything of that kind has to go to whoever is holding the order.
It is not a verification service. A status recorded here says an address answered at a point in time. It says nothing about whether goods are authentic, whether a seller is reliable, whether a batch is good, or whether a price is fair. No part of this site should be read as a certification.
It is not a marketplace directory with a ranking. The platform ledger sorts on fields that can be checked, not on quality. Where a field could not be read, it says unverified rather than assigning a score.
Why only one subject
Narrow coverage is a deliberate choice rather than a stage on the way to something wider. The value of a weekly record comes from consistency: the same method applied to a fresh sample, period after period, so that movement between periods means something. Spreading the same effort across several subjects would produce a thinner record of each and no usable time series of any.
It also keeps the material honest. Claims about wrapped addresses can be tested; claims about the whole shopping-agent market cannot, and a site that made them would be writing from comparisons rather than from measurements.
Who maintains it
The ledger is maintained by R. Kwan, Ledger editor. Every page carries a byline with the date it was last checked, and the method page states the version of the definition set that produced the readings on it. Method version 2026-09-29.1 is currently in force.
Changes are recorded on the site record. Corrections from readers are welcome and are handled through the correction route, which also lists what makes a report actionable.
How it is funded
Running the site costs a domain and hosting, plus the time spent collecting and writing. Part of that is covered by links to a directory of platforms, which carry a source marker so the directory can tell where a visit came from. Those links are marked as sponsored in the page source.
The funding does not decide the order of anything. Platform entries are sorted on fields this site can check and show — whether a platform is accepting orders, whether it takes a rebuilt address, whether photos are included, and when each field was last read. Payment is not one of those fields, and no platform has been given a better position for any reason other than a checkable one.
There is no advertising network, no sponsored content and no tracking script from a third party. The disclosure appears at the top of the front page and in full at the bottom of every page, rather than in small print.
Four things this site will not do
- Publish a number it has not measured, including platform fees, storage terms and tax rates.
- Rewrite a published record to make a later period look better. Corrections are logged, not absorbed.
- Recommend a platform on anything other than a checkable field.
- Ask for account details, credentials or payment information. Nothing on this site needs them.
