How to use it
Count what you can confirm, then look at what is missing
Give one point for each statement you can support from the pages in front of you. Eight or nine points means the link may be worth keeping, but one serious problem can still be enough to remove it.
The nine-point checklist
- The item belongs in the category I am researching.
- The album or catalog photos show the details that matter.
- Watermarks and contact details are reasonably consistent.
- Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed.
- Price is compared with similar results rather than judged alone.
- Shipping weight does not remove the value.
- The source or purchase link matches the item being shown.
- QC photos are relevant to the same item or source when available.
- I can explain why I would save this result.
Use the score to decide what to do next
Keep the link for now, then check any remaining gap.
Keep looking. Start with the missing detail most likely to change your decision.
Keep it only if you know exactly where the missing information may come from.
Remove it for now. The row raises more questions than it answers.
A high score does not cancel a serious problem
A wrong source link, unsafe payment request, missing size information, or unclear electronics compatibility can outweigh several completed boxes.
Save the page behind each point
Keep the exact URL, item code or plain label, date checked, and one short note. If you copy a figure or screenshot, record where it came from. When a page changes, you will know which note needs another look.
Example worth keeping
A clothing row includes front, back, fabric, label, and measurement photos; one product code; a matching source page; relevant QC photos; a dated price; an estimated packed weight; and a note explaining why the cut looks suitable.
You can see why the row was kept, even though the product and seller are still unverified.
Example to skip
A row says “good seller,” links to one cover image, and has no item code, measurements, source page, QC reference, checked date, or explanation for the price.
The praise does not answer any of the missing questions.
A simple save rule
Keep a link only when you can explain why it is more useful than the next similar one.
Check the price, availability, destination, service terms, and seller-provided details again before you act. A dated note is more useful than an undated claim that a row is “best” or “safe.”
Use the guide that matches the gap
Use the category guide if the item is hard to classify, the QC guide for photo comparison, the weight guide for shipping estimates, and buyer safety for warning signs.
