QC checklist for Oopbuy spreadsheet finds

QC is where a saved spreadsheet row becomes a real decision. You are not trying to find a perfect item. You are deciding whether the flaws, sizing, shape, and shipping cost still make sense before the parcel leaves the warehouse.

Quick answer: what should QC prove?

Good QC photos should prove that the item matches the row, the selected size or variant is correct, the visible flaws are acceptable, and the item still feels worth shipping. If the photos do not answer those questions, ask for better evidence before accepting.

Photos to request by category

• Shoes: side profiles, heels, toe box, outsole, labels, insole measurement, and both shoes together.
• Hoodies and tees: flat front, flat back, chest width, body length, print close-up, tags, and fabric texture.
• Bags: front, back, bottom, corners, zips, hardware, strap length, interior, and any logo placement.
• Accessories: scale photo, finish close-up, packaging, clasp or hinge detail, and any moving parts.

Use measurements, not hope

Spreadsheet rows often repeat size advice without context. Compare warehouse measurements with an item you already own. If the seller size chart and the measured item disagree, trust the tape in the QC photo.

For clothing, a two or three centimeter difference can change the fit. For shoes, insole length is often more useful than the seller's size label when the listing mixes EU, US, and Chinese sizing.

Look for seller switches and variant mistakes

Sometimes the warehouse receives a similar item, not the exact one you selected. Check color, logo placement, size tag, packaging, and option details against the original row. If the seller changed the item without making it obvious, treat that as a risk signal.

Reject early when the issue will not disappear

• Wrong size, wrong color, or missing selected option.
• Visible stains, holes, broken hardware, or a print that is clearly misplaced.
• One shoe shaped differently from the other or a pair that sits unevenly together.
• Measurements that do not match your fit target.
• Photos that avoid the exact area you need to inspect.

When to accept small flaws

Small glue marks, minor packaging damage, or a tiny loose thread may be acceptable if the item is cheap, the flaw is not visible when worn, and the shipping cost still makes sense. The question is not "is there any flaw?" The question is "will this flaw still bother me after I pay international shipping?"

Compare similar products before accepting

Before accepting a questionable item, open the matching Findsindex category and compare current alternatives. Sometimes switching sellers is easier than convincing yourself a weak QC photo is "probably fine."
