The seven-point checklist
- The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
- Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price makes sense beside similar finds.
- Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
- The row is not just hype or a vague label.
- I can explain why I would save this find.
Score the row
Strong shortlist candidate
Keep researching. The row has enough visible context to compare, but it remains an unverified external listing.
Research more
Name the missing fields. Decide whether updated photos, measurements, or weight context could close the gap.
Weak row
The row may be easy to notice but difficult to compare. Do not let a strong thumbnail replace missing detail.
Remove for now
There is not enough usable information. Removing it keeps weak evidence from occupying the shortlist.
QC photos should answer category-specific questions
Shoes and sneakers
Look for both side profiles, toe shape, heel, outsole, stitching, and a visible size or insole-length reference.
Hoodies, shirts, and jackets
Front, back, inside, cuffs, closures, fabric close-up, and measurement photos help more than repeated styled angles.
Bags and accessories
Check scale, dimensions, closures, hardware, lining, straps, and the parts that carry weight or receive frequent handling.
Watches and jewelry
Small details need sharp close-ups plus scale. Dimensions, clasps, case or chain detail, and material claims deserve separate checks.
Good row example
Category: Lightweight jacket
Evidence: Front, back, lining, zipper, cuff, and measurement photos
Context: Compared with two jackets of similar construction; likely package bulk noted
Save reason: “Measurements suit the intended fit, construction photos are usable, and weight risk is understood.”
Weak row example
Category: “Clothing”
Evidence: One small image
Context: No measurements, fabric detail, weight clue, or comparable rows
Save reason: “Looks popular.”
The one-sentence save rule
What to do next
If the score is strong, verify the external destination and current details. If weight is uncertain, read the shipping guide. If the photos do not answer category-specific questions, return to the category page rather than opening more of the same weak row.
