Choose a category guide

Compare categories before you shortlist

The best starting category depends on fit risk, inspection difficulty and how the item changes a parcel. Use this comparison to decide which guide deserves your attention before opening product links.

Why category-specific research helps

A single generic checklist misses important differences. Footwear needs sizing evidence and pair comparison; clothing needs garment measurements and fabric context; accessories need precise dimensions, functioning hardware and included parts. Each category page narrows the research without pretending that a spreadsheet replaces the live listing.

Beginner route: choose one category, save the live listing and selected option, then keep those references beside the warehouse photos. This makes the later quality decision more reliable than reviewing images from memory.

Continue from product research to a parcel

After choosing a product, follow the step-by-step spreadsheet workflow. When an item reaches the warehouse, use the warehouse QC checklist to compare identity, measurements and visible condition. Before submission, review the shipping guide for packaging, chargeable weight and route planning.
