Seven-point 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
Score your row
6–7 points
Strong shortlist candidate. The row answers most important questions. Recheck the external details before making any decision.
4–5 points
Research more. Name the missing evidence and look for it. Do not mentally fill the gap.
2–3 points
Weak row. A better-documented alternative will usually be easier to judge.
0–1 point
Remove for now. The row creates more questions than it answers.
QC photos by category
Hoobuy QC photos should answer product-specific questions. For shoes, look for both side profiles, toe shape, heel alignment, sole and size label. Clothing needs front and back views, seams, tags where relevant and measurable dimensions. Bags benefit from scale, interior, closure and strap details. Watches and electronics need specifications as well as photos; a clean image cannot confirm function.
A QC finder or QC photo finder may help locate pictures, but the presence of photos is not enough. Check whether they correspond to the same listing and show the detail you need.
Good row example
A jacket row links to the relevant listing, shows front, back, lining and closure details, includes shoulder/chest/length measurements, and can be compared with two similar options. The stated material and estimated weight are plausible but still treated as claims to verify.
Weak row example
A “must buy” jacket row has one front image, no measurements, no lining view, an unclear source destination and no weight context. The low price is doing all the persuasive work.
What to do when evidence conflicts
Do not average a strong claim and weak evidence into a passing score. If the row says one size, the listing shows another option, and the QC photos cannot be matched, treat the point as unresolved. The same rule applies when a price refers to a deposit or accessory while the row describes a complete item.
Write the conflict beside the row in plain language: “size option does not match,” “photo set may belong to another color,” or “weight is missing.” A specific note tells you what to verify and prevents the same uncertain row from re-entering the shortlist later.
One-sentence save rule
If you cannot finish “I am saving this row because…” with evidence, do not save it yet.
What to do next
Return to the category and compare one or two alternatives. If weight is the unresolved issue, use the shipping guide. If an external link or seller claim feels unclear, review the safety notes.
