The seven-point row 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.
A size chart is useful only when its units and measurement points match the live variant. When comparing price, keep the product type, included parts, and weight assumptions consistent.
How to count: award a point only when the row or live page gives you a real answer. “Probably fine” means the question is still open.
Score your row
Worth a careful live-page check.
Name the missing evidence.
Keep it out of the shortlist.
Information is doing too little work.
The score decides where to spend time. It does not prove that a product is good. A six-point row may still fail when the destination changes; a low score improves only when the missing details appear.
QC photos should change with the category
| Category | Photos that help | What one thumbnail hides |
|---|---|---|
| Shoes & sneakers | Both sides, heel, toe, outsole, interior size mark | Shape, sole construction, stitching, wear |
| Hoodies & shirts | Front, back, collar or hood, cuffs, seams, close-ups | Measurements, fabric behavior, placement |
| Jackets | Shell, lining, closures, pockets, hardware, size chart | Construction, storage, weight, fit |
| Pants | Front/back flat view, waist, rise, inseam, leg opening | Cut, drape, measurement method |
| Bags | Interior, base, corners, straps, fixtures, object for scale | Capacity, structure, hardware, dimensions |
| Watches & jewelry | Multiple angles, clasp, case or setting, size marks | Scale, finish, connections, stated function |
| Electronics | Labels, ports, accessories, power details, screens | Compatibility, region, included parts, condition |
QC photos help inspect visible details. They cannot establish authenticity, long-term durability, electrical safety, seller reliability, or perfect fit.
Good row example
Canvas shoulder bag · medium
Interior and corner photos present; dimensions shown in centimeters; strap adjustment visible; empty-weight estimate shown; source destination matches; compared with two similar bags.
Why it can stay: the row gives you a category, visible construction, scale, weight context, and a reason to compare further.
Weak row example
Trending bag · top quality · lowest price
One cropped image; no interior, dimensions, material details, weight, or clear destination.
Why it should leave: the row cannot answer how the item is built, how large it is, what it may cost to ship, or why it belongs on the shortlist.
One-sentence save rule
Save a find only when you can name its category, what made it stand out, what is still missing, and why you prefer it to another option.
If that sentence is hard to finish, the row is still discovery material.
What to do next
Open a small comparison group, re-check the live source, and repeat the same checklist. Use the shipping-weight guide when estimated parcel weight could change the decision, and the safety notes when a row uses vague claims or unclear links.
