Ask for QC in a fixed order, because the first two photos decide whether you continue: (1) the label/stamp that identifies the unit, (2) the whole item on a neutral surface, then (3) category-specific macros.
Universal five
- Insole or interior stamp with size visible.
- Full item, front and side, natural light.
- The closure/hardware detail (laces, zipper, buckle, clasp).
- The box/tag contents laid out flat.
- The packed parcel with the shipping mark — this is your freight estimate.
Category macros
| Category | Ask additionally for | Failure it catches |
|---|---|---|
| Sneakers | Heel tab, stitch pitch at toe box, sole underside | Wrong batch, glue marks |
| Down jackets | Fill tag, baffle count, cuff elastic | Synthetic sold as down |
| Bags | Hardware edge, corner wear, interior placque | Plating and structure issues |
| Hoodies | Collar rib, seam-to-seam flat measure | Sizing drift |
| Watches | Caseback engraving, lume in dark | Wrong movement |
How to reject without a fight
Reference the photo number, not your feeling: “Photo 3, left heel tab, stitch direction is reversed versus the album.” Sellers and agents resolve specificity far faster than dissatisfaction.
One structural warning: QC is only as good as the album you compare it with. Because most album images have no ALT text and no per-product page, buyers often compare against a thumbnail they no longer have a link to. This is exactly the gap a mirrored catalogue closes — a product page gives you a stable reference image with a URL.
