Use the guide that matches your next decision

You do not need to read everything. Start with the problem in front of you—understanding a row, checking photos, tracing a source, comparing costs, or knowing when to stop.

Start here

New to spreadsheet finds? Read the main guide, choose one product category, and use the three-pass shortlist workflow. Already comparing products? Go directly to the QC, source-link, checklist, or shipping guide.

A simple reading path

Discover, verify, then decide

Choose the section that matches the problem on your screen right now. You can return for the other checks only if you need them.

Start

Understand what the spreadsheet can do

Learn what a row can organize, what it cannot prove, and how to separate a useful lead from a recommendation.

Read the main guide →
Start

Choose the product type first

See which photos, measurements, and specifications matter for shoes, clothing, bags, watches, jewelry, and electronics.

Choose a category →
Organize

Build a shortlist in three passes

Scan first, open only the promising rows, and stop when a few comparable options remain.

Use the three passes →
Verify

See what the QC photos actually show

Give each image a job, compare complete photo sets, and notice when an important angle or measurement is missing.

Review QC photos →
Verify

Trace the source-link chain

Understand the difference between an album, store, item page, search result, and converted link before comparing details.

Check source links →
Verify

Search for the missing detail

Turn a broad search into a direct question about sizing, the original link, compatibility, photos, or packed weight.

Improve the search →
Understand

Understand spreadsheet search terms

Learn what “sheet,” “source link,” “QC,” and “shipping estimate” usually mean before opening more pages.

Read the terminology guide →
Decide

Check a row before saving it

Use seven consistent checks, write down what is still missing, and explain why the row stays or goes.

Use the checklist →
Decide

Include packed weight and volume

Compare the item price with likely packaging, route restrictions, and the inputs required by a current official estimator.

Plan the parcel →
Stop

Recognize missing details and red flags

Know when a changed link, vague option, missing measurement, or unsafe payment request should end the review.

Review safety notes →
Choose by uncertainty

Not sure which guide you need?

“I do not know what this row means.” Start with the main spreadsheet guide.

“The item looks right, but I do not trust the photos or link.” Use the QC photo and source-link guides.

“I have too many options.” Use the shortlist workflow, then apply the seven-point checklist.

“The displayed price looks good, but I am unsure about the real cost.” Review packed weight and use a current official estimator for actual figures.

“Something feels mismatched or unsafe.” Stop and read the safety notes before opening more links or entering information.

One useful habit

Leave every page with a smaller list and a clearer question.

A guide has done its job when you know what to check next—or why a row no longer deserves your time.
