Checklist
Run these checks before trusting a Fansbuy spreadsheet row.
Keep the check short and honest. Catch the obvious problems early, compare with better context, and avoid saving links that only looked good for a few seconds.
Confirm the category
If the row is for shoes, judge it with shoe checks. If it is clothing, look for measurements and fit notes. Do not use one checklist for every product type.
Read the row before clicking
Look for a clear item name, seller clue, price context, and enough detail to know why the row exists. A title and one image is a weak start.
Check whether the find is still live
Spreadsheet rows age. Variants disappear, sellers swap photos, and old links can point somewhere different. Freshness beats nostalgia.
Look beyond the first image
One strong image can hide weak detail. Search for angles, close-ups, labels, sole photos, zips, stitching, hardware, or material shots depending on the product.
Check size and variant notes
Do not assume the spreadsheet row matches the live option. Confirm colour, size range, measurements, and whether the variant shown in the row is still available.
Compare one similar item
Open the matching FindsIndex section and compare at least one similar item. If the row still looks good after that, it has earned more attention.
Think about total cost
A low item price can lose its advantage if the product is bulky, heavy, unclear, or likely to need replacing. Compare the whole decision, not only the first number.
Reject rows with clear red flags
Dead links, mismatched photos, missing measurements, vague names, and wrong categories are enough reason to move on. Do not spend ten minutes trying to rescue every row.
Write a plain reason for keeping it
“Clear sizing and better photos” is enough. If you cannot explain why the row belongs in your shortlist, leave it out.
