Pre-save review

Wegobuy Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find

Score the evidence, review photos in a repeatable order and record what is still unknown. The checklist does not verify a product; it helps you decide whether a candidate deserves more attention.

Quick answer

Save only what you can explain.

A strong Wegobuy spreadsheet row has a clear category, useful photos, enough sizing detail, sensible comparison context, a manageable weight question and a specific reason to remain on your shortlist.

The 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.

Give one point only when the row or linked evidence answers the check. “Probably” is not a point; it is a prompt for more research.

A high checklist score means the row is better documented, not that the product, seller, shipping or final outcome is guaranteed.

QC photos by category

A useful QC set shows the exact details you need for that product. Start by confirming that the photos belong to the same item and option, then check whether the angles are clear enough to answer your questions.

QC photo checks by product category
CategoryPhotos that helpQuestions to ask
Shoes and sneakersBoth sides, toe, heel, sole, size labelIs the shape consistent? Is sizing explained?
Hoodies and shirtsFront, back, seams, print, measurement viewAre chest and length usable? Is the fabric described?
JacketsSilhouette, closure, lining, cuffs, labelsDoes the size chart match the actual garment?
BagsExterior, interior, base, hardware, strapsAre dimensions and empty structure clear?
Watches and jewelryClose-ups, clasp, side profile, item at scaleAre dimensions and material claims specific?

QC photos only show the item that was photographed. They do not guarantee that every future order will look the same.

Review QC photos in four passes

Do not start by zooming into the most interesting detail. A fixed order makes missing views and contradictions easier to notice.

1. Identity

Does the photographed item match the category, color, size and option you intended to inspect? Stop if the basic identity is unclear.

2. Coverage

Are front, back, sides and category-specific views present? Missing coverage should become a written question.

3. Measurements

Can you see where the measurement begins and ends, and is the unit clear? Compare the method, not only the number.

4. Details

Inspect seams, closures, surface finish, hardware or sole construction only after the first three passes agree.

For clothing and footwear, compare actual measurement points rather than a familiar size label. A shoe chart is useful only when it explains the sizing method and, where available, the internal length.

A clear photo can still be the wrong photo. Make sure it belongs to the item you are checking and shows a detail that affects your decision.

Good row and weak row examples

Good row example

“Heavy zip hoodie — chest and length shown, front/back QC photos, close-up of zipper and fabric, source link opens the same color and size range, weight note included.”

This candidate still needs external checking, but it gives a reviewer specific evidence and a fair basis for comparison.

Weak row example

“Best hoodie — must buy — cheapest.”

No measurements, no useful photo description, no source clarity and no weight context. Popular wording cannot replace missing evidence.

Keep a four-line note

Add these lines beside every candidate that survives the first pass. They make it easy to remember why you kept a row when you return later.

Found: useful views, measurements or listing details.

Missing: the exact photo, dimension or source detail you still need.

Mismatch: anything that differs between the spreadsheet, listing and QC photos.

Next step: compare, ask, wait, remove or continue.

A short note is more reliable than a familiar thumbnail that only feels as though you checked it already.

The one-sentence save rule

“I am saving this row because [specific evidence] makes it stronger than [similar candidate], while [remaining question] still needs checking.”

If you cannot finish that sentence without using “best,” “popular” or “cheap,” the candidate is not ready to save.

What to do next

  1. Move strong candidates into a small, category-specific shortlist.
  2. Use shipping-weight guidance to test whether bulky items still make sense.
  3. Read the buyer safety notes for external-link and hype checks.
  4. Use the FAQ for direct answers about source terms, legitimacy, support and converters.
  5. Continue to Findsindex only when you know what you want to inspect.
