Use color coding to highlight exceptional performers in each category.
Step 3: Add Quality Control Photo Links
Documenting product quality is crucial for informed purchasing decisions:
- Create a dedicated column for QC photo URLs using image hosting services
- Include detailed shots of materials, stitching, and finishing
- Add comparison photos showing different sellers' versions of the same item
- Note any common quality issues you've observed
Tip: Screenshot important QC information and include timestamps in your documentation.
