How to choose the right section

Do not choose a category by the shop name or by where someone placed the row in another sheet. Choose it by the question you need answered. A hoodie belongs with clothing because fit, fabric, print placement, and measurements matter. A pair of shoes belongs with shoes because shape, batch, sole color, and insole length matter. A small device belongs with electronics because model accuracy and compatibility matter.

When an item could fit multiple sections, pick the category with the biggest risk. A branded watch may feel like an accessory, but if battery, charging, app support, or model number matters, treat it like an electronics check before you save it.

Start broad

If the item type is unclear, open the broad category first and narrow only after the title and photos agree.

Compare like with like

A hoodie should compete with other hoodies, not with whatever row happened to sit above it.

Update the row

After comparing, write the correct category back into your note so the next review starts faster.

What each category should help you verify

Category Useful signals Reason to compare first
Clothing Measurements, fabric weight, print placement, shrink risk, and fit notes. Seller photos look good but the size chart or material details are weak.
Shoes Batch names, insole length, toe shape, heel profile, sole color, and repeated QC examples. The spreadsheet note says "good batch" without showing what makes it good.
Bags Dimensions, structure, strap length, stitching, lining, logo placement, and hardware finish. Photos hide corners, handles, zippers, or the bag looks collapsed in QC photos.
Electronics Model number, compatibility, plug type, included accessories, battery notes, and return risk. The listing mixes several versions or does not make the specs clear.

Use categories to reduce bad saves

The category page is useful before and after a spreadsheet row. Before saving, it shows whether similar listings explain the product better. After saving, it gives you a fallback when the original link changes or the note is too vague to act on.

  • Open the category when a row has no date, no QC note, or no clear reason.
  • Compare at least a few similar listings before treating a row as a strong pick.
  • Keep the row only if it still has a clearer reason than nearby alternatives.
  • Write the category back into your notes so the row is easier to revisit later.
Better note after checking Category: shoes. Keep only if warehouse photos show clean side profile and insole length; compare newer shoe listings first.
