Shopping Questions to Settle Before Proceeding
These answers resolve recurring shopping questions while keeping a firm boundary between product discovery, independent checking and external transaction services.

02
Spreadsheet
Treat the spreadsheet as a shopping index, not a purchase verdict
Treat the Oopbuy spreadsheet as an index of research leads. Its value is speed: it exposes candidate routes, category patterns and terms that can be examined against current product sources.
An index is not a validation result. It cannot establish seller reliability, product authenticity, live stock or final landed cost; those questions need current evidence from the relevant external service.
03
QC Photos
Read QC photos for visible evidence and unresolved questions
QC photos provide visual observations, not an authenticity certificate. Inspect coverage, lighting and angle first, then note visible alignment, color, labels, measurements and defects that the images can reasonably show.
Mark unresolved details explicitly. Extra photos or measurements may be appropriate when a decision depends on an area that is cropped, dark, distant or absent from the available set.
- Angle and distance
- Visible measurements
- Color and lighting
- Labels and details
- Surface or stitching
- Areas missing from the frame

How to Use
A buying-check sequence you can repeat
- 01
Define the decision criteria first. Review the spreadsheet, group candidates by category, preserve exact source links, inspect available QC context and compare only after the records use the same fields.
- 02
End with a list of unresolved questions. That list determines which current source pages, measurements, photos or policy documents still need to be checked.
05
Separate product discovery from purchase validation
Discovery is not purchase validation
A spreadsheet can expose a candidate quickly; validation asks whether the current source, variant, evidence, cost context and policies support the intended decision.
Keeping the stages separate prevents a convenient find from being mistaken for a completed product assessment.

Help and answers
Frequently asked questions
The Oopbuy spreadsheet is an organized discovery and shopping index. It may group categories, finds, source links and QC context, but it does not certify sellers, authenticate products, guarantee availability or lock a current price.
Choose a category or browse path, narrow the records, preserve the exact source and variant, inspect available QC context, then compare current details at the destination. Treat unresolved information as a question, not a positive assumption.

Use these answers to separate discovery from validation, then verify current product and policy details at the responsible source.
