Seven checks, one clear reason
LinkAllBuy Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find
Use the same questions on every row. The score is not a product rating; it is a way to keep your shortlist honest.
Independent guide
linkallbuy is an independent browsing guide for LinkAllBuy spreadsheet users. It does not sell products, process orders, handle shipping, verify sellers, or represent LinkAllBuy or Findsindex.
Photos and measurements need context
What useful QC and sizing information looks like
Useful QC photos show the relevant item and option from angles that matter for its category. A photo finder can help locate images, but you still need to match them to the product, color, size, and current page.
Useful sizing information includes units, a clear measurement method, garment or insole dimensions, and the selected option. A size letter by itself is not enough to predict fit.
One point per clear answer
The seven-point checklist
- 01
The item belongs in the category I am browsing
- 02
Photos show the details that matter for this product type
- 03
Sizing, measurements, or fit notes are visible when needed
- 04
Price makes sense beside similar finds
- 05
Shipping weight does not ruin the value
- 06
The row is not just hype or a vague label
- 07
I can explain why I would save this find
No false precision
Score your row
The score is a browsing aid, not a product rating or safety guarantee.
Research more
Name the missing evidence and search for it. Do not fill the gap with an assumption.
Weak row
Too many basics are missing. Compare with clearer rows before opening more links.
Remove for now
The label is doing almost all the work. Let it go unless new evidence appears.
Quality-check photos
QC photos should answer category-specific questions
| Category | Useful photo coverage | Common gap |
|---|---|---|
| Shoes and sneakers | Both shoes, side profiles, toes, heels, soles, inside size label | One angle or no pair comparison |
| Hoodies and shirts | Front, back, print close-up, seams, tags, laid-flat measurements | No measurement method |
| Jackets | Front, back, lining, closures, cuffs, shoulder and chest measurements | Only exterior styling photos |
| Bags | Front, back, sides, base, interior, straps, hardware, dimensions | No scale or interior view |
| Watches and jewelry | Face or finish close-ups, clasp, side profile, marks, scale reference | Reflections hide the surface |
A QC finder, QC photo finder, “GC finder,” or QC checker can help locate images, but the tool name does not make the photos current, complete, or tied to your exact item.
Two sample rows
Good row example and weak row example
A jacket row with a reason
The category is clear. Front, back, lining, closure, and measurement photos are available. The size chart explains units and method. Price is compared beside similar jackets, the source page matches, and the user has flagged packed weight for confirmation.
A vague “must-have” row
The row has one small image, a size letter without measurements, and a shortened link. Its only persuasive clues are a low price and a confident label. It cannot explain why it deserves a saved place.
If you cannot explain why this row is stronger than its neighbors, do not save it yet.
What to do next
Browse LinkAllBuy finds on FindsindexFix one missing point or move on
Search for the missing measurement, inspect the source destination, compare weight, or open the relevant Findsindex category. If the gap remains, remove the row instead of carrying uncertainty into the shortlist.
