Decide whether the listing deserves attention
Check category fit, source relevance, listing photos, measurements, visible price context and likely packaging. Write the strongest reason to keep the row and the most important missing fact.
Seven checks before you save a link
ASDBuy QC Photos & Spreadsheet Checklist
A row earns its place by answering the questions that matter for its category. Score what is visible; do not award points for promises you cannot inspect.
Score only visible evidence
The seven-point pre-save 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
If you cannot explain the save, the row has not earned it yet.
Do not ask for evidence without a purpose
Decide what the next photo or measurement must prove
For shoes, decide whether you need the side profile, outsole, heel shape or size label. For a jacket, a flat chest measurement may settle the fit question more quickly than five extra close-ups.
The product type should set the check. Bags need dimensions, interior space, closures and strap joins. Clothing needs clear units and fit context. Do not use the same generic photo list for every item.
A simple triage tool
Score your row
Use the score to control attention, not to declare an item safe or verified. A strong score means the row contains enough useful information for closer checking. It does not prove that a seller, product, transaction or shipping claim is reliable.
| Score | Reading | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| 6–7 | Strong shortlist candidate | Recheck the exact external details. |
| 4–5 | Research more | Find the missing photos, sizing or context. |
| 2–3 | Weak row | Keep only if the missing evidence is easy to resolve. |
| 0–1 | Remove for now | Do not let a vague row consume the session. |
Two decisions, two evidence sets
Use the checklist twice
Decide whether the actual item still deserves the parcel space
Compare the real item with the saved reason, requested measurements and reject trigger. Re-score only the evidence that has genuinely changed.
Do not carry the old score forward automatically. A 7/7 listing can fall after warehouse photos; a missing measurement can improve only when a clear, item-specific measurement is actually provided.
Evidence by item type
QC photos should fit the category
01
Shoes and sneakers
Look for both sides, toe shape, heel, sole, stitching and a clear size reference. One dramatic angle is not a quality check.
Weight note: include the likely effect of a box or protective packaging.
02
Clothing
Front, back, seams, labels and fabric close-ups help, but measurements are central. Check whether width, length and sleeve values use clear units.
Fit note: a generic size label is not a measurement.
03
Bags and accessories
Inspect scale, interior, closures, hardware, strap joins, edges and any areas that carry weight or repeated movement.
Context note: dimensions should make the photos easier to interpret.
04
Watches and jewelry
Close-ups should make finish, alignment, joins, clasp and dimensions understandable. Remove rows whose claims are more specific than their evidence.
Language note: avoid treating material wording as independently verified.
When using a photo finder: match the images to the exact row, colour, size and source context. A similar-looking item is not automatic confirmation.
Specific requests beat more photos
Ask for a photo that answers one question
A useful extra-photo request connects an unresolved question to a visible answer. “More photos” is vague. “Place a ruler across the chest with both garment edges visible” explains what must be shown and why.
| Uncertainty | Useful request | Decision it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Shoe shape | Level side profile and outsole | Compare toe, heel and sole proportions. |
| Top sizing | Flat chest and back-length measurements | Compare with a garment that already fits. |
| Bag structure | Interior, base and strap-join close-ups | Judge capacity, shape and stress points. |
| Print placement | Straight front view with the full garment visible | Check centering, scale and alignment. |
Apply the score
Good row and weak row examples
Good row example: 7/7
A jacket sits in the correct category, shows front, back, lining and zipper close-ups, includes chest and length measurements with units, has a price comparable to similar rows, acknowledges likely bulky weight, uses a plain description and links to a relevant source page.
Weak row example: 2/7
A “must-have” jacket has one front image, no measurements, no fabric or lining view and no weight context. The link opens a source page with a different description. Category and visible price are the only clear fields.
Make the reason visible
The one-sentence save rule
Save the row only if you can finish this sentence: “I am keeping this find because the category is right and the visible evidence answers ______ better than the alternatives.”
If the blank contains only “it is cheap,” “people like it” or “the label sounds good,” compare more rows. If it contains clear measurements, useful detail photos, a relevant source and manageable likely weight, the row has a practical reason to survive.
Keep the shortlist small
