W2C Guide: From Finding to Buying in 24 Hours

W2C stands for "Where To Cop" — the community shorthand for finding purchase links to specific items. In the iTaoBuy ecosystem, W2C is more than a link dump; it is a verified workflow that takes you from discovery to delivery with confidence. The iTaoBuy Spreadsheet replaces the chaotic W2C threads of the past with a searchable, categorized, quality-tagged database of 5,878+ finds.
