Short answer: A shopping page or seller screenshot is only supporting context. It should not replace readable 3C / CCC evidence on the power bank body. For China flight screening, exact model match, body label, recall status, Wh, carry-on placement, route, and airline rules still control the practical answer.
Product pages are useful for research, but they often combine variants, colors, bundles, or updated batches. The listing can be right for one SKU and still not prove the device in your hand.
If a screenshot says 3C but the power bank body is unreadable or different, airport screening may not accept the page as enough evidence. The model and capacity printed on the device need to match.
Use shopping-page evidence only as a secondary clue. The safer travel setup is a device with readable certification and capacity labels, exact-model identity, no recall match, and carry-on packing.

The final answer can change by model, airline, country, certification mark, label evidence, and recall status.

Can I show a Taobao or JD page to prove 3C at the airport?
Do not rely on a shopping page alone. It may support identification, but body-level readable evidence is safer for screening.
What if the seller page and device label disagree?
Treat the device as risky. The carried device, not the listing, is what airport screening can inspect.
Is a product screenshot better than no evidence?
It can help research, but it should not substitute for a clear 3C / CCC mark, exact model, capacity label, and recall check.
