| Item Name/Description |
Product details |
| Price (¥) |
Item cost in Chinese Yuan |

| QC Summary |
Your assessment of item quality |
| Shipping Cost |
Domestic and international shipping |
| Total Cost |
Item price + all fees |
| Status |

2. Integrate QC Reports
When CSSBuy provides QC photos for your item:
- Copy the direct link to the QC images
- Paste it in the "QC Link" column as a hyperlink
- Add brief notes in "QC Summary" column: "No flaws," "Minor stitching issue," "Color differs from photos," etc.
3. Input Payment Data
Log all financial transactions related to each order:
- Item price from the original store
- CSSBuy service fees
- Domestic shipping to warehouse
- International shipping costs
- Any additional fees (packaging, insurance, etc.)
4. Utilize Formulas for Automation
Implement these useful formulas:
=SUM()
=HYPERLINK()
=IF()
- Conditional formatting to color-code items with problems
