Seven checks before you shortlist a row

Use this scorecard when you save a spreadsheet find. It is not an order tutorial — for paste-and-pay steps, open the How to Buy guide.

  1. 1

    The category is clear

    The row belongs in the comparison you are making. A vague label without product type is not enough to shortlist.

  2. 2

    Photos do real work

    Useful QC or listing photos show angles that matter for this product type — sole, measurements, hardware — not only a polished front shot.

  3. 3

    Fit has evidence

    Measurements, a size chart, or specific centimeter notes beat a generic “TTS” in the title. Compare charts to something you already own.

  4. 4

    Price has context

    Cheap or expensive means little without similar rows beside it. Ask what the gap might represent — materials, batch, or missing details.

  5. 5

    Weight is considered

    Bulky shoes, structured bags, and padded jackets change international shipping. OrientDig charges on actual vs volumetric weight — whichever is higher.

  6. 6

    Source clues are relevant

    Taobao, Weidian, 1688, or Yupoo context helps only when the live link and spreadsheet label still describe the same item and variant.

  7. 7

    Live listing verified

    Open the marketplace page the same day you order. Stock, color, and price drift faster than community sheets update.
