Yoybuy Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find

Score what the row actually shows. A shortlist should contain understandable candidates, not links that survived because they were easy to save.

Pre-save test

The seven-point checklist

Use the same standard on every row, then add category-specific checks where needed.

  • 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.
What the score means

Score your row

The middle scores are not failures. They tell you exactly where more evidence is needed.

6–7: strong shortlist candidate

The row answers most practical questions and has a clear save reason. Confirm the destination and remaining details.

4–5: research more

Keep it temporarily, but write the missing evidence beside the link before opening more options.

2–3: weak row

Too many basics remain unclear. Compare it only if the missing information can be resolved quickly.

0–1: remove for now

The row is creating work without supplying enough value. Remove it and return only if new evidence appears.

What QC photos should show

Turn a quality check into visible questions

When you look for QC photos, decide what you need to see before opening them. A photo finder can locate images, but its label does not prove that they match the exact item, seller or selected option.

Compare warehouse photos with the destination listing. Look for consistent color, construction and option details. For clothing, confirm that the size chart belongs to the item and record the measurements that matter. For footwear, an item-specific insole length can be more useful than a generic size label.

Begin with one category-specific question and one mismatch test: what detail should be visible, and what would show that the photo set belongs to a different item?

Category evidence

QC photos should answer different questions

A Yoybuy quality check is useful when the images fit the item, variant and decision. The phrase QC photos alone is not enough.

Shoes and sneakers

Look for both side profiles, heels, toe boxes, soles, stitching and a reliable size reference. Packaging can affect packed weight.

Hoodies and clothing

Look for garment measurements, seams, cuffs, collars, closures, lining and fabric texture. Compare measurements with an item you know.

Bags

Look for front, back, base, interior, hardware, closure and scale. Structure and protective packing can change shipping weight.

Watches

Look for dial, side profile, crown, clasp, case back and dimensions. Treat technical wording carefully and do not infer official support.

Accessories and jewelry

Look for scale, material, finish, fasteners, paired pieces and variant clarity. Small items still need close, well-lit views.

Electronics

Look for connectors, labels, included parts, model compatibility and condition. Use official documentation for safety and support questions.

Example A

A row with a reason

A clothing row leads to the described item, shows item-specific chest and length measurements, includes useful construction photos, sits near comparable prices and notes an estimated weight that still needs confirmation.

Score: 6/7. The save reason is “measurements and construction are clearer than the neighboring rows.” Keep it while confirming packed weight and current variant details.

Example B

A row held together by hype

A shoe row has a vague label, one polished image, no insole measurement, no useful source detail and a low price shown without comparable options.

Score: 1/7. Remove it for now. Opening more tabs will not fix the missing foundation.

Save rule

One sentence decides the row

Save a Yoybuy find only when you can name the evidence that makes it more useful than the neighboring options.

The sentence should mention a real difference: measurements, relevant QC photos, a clearer variant, better source context or manageable weight. “Looks good” is not specific enough.
