A high refund rate can signal issues with your buying habits or the reliability of sellers. A lower refund rate generally means more successful purchases, saving you time, hassle, and often restocking fees. Your self-assigned Quality Control (QC) score measures satisfaction and product reliability. This analysis helps you become a more discerning buyer, prioritizing quality and value over sheer quantity. By combining these analyses, the HipoBuy Spreadsheet becomes a central hub for your financial IQ as a buyer. In conclusion, the HipoBuy Spreadsheet is more than just a log; it's a strategic tool. By diligently recording data and using simple visualization techniques, you can uncover the story behind your spending, reduce financial waste, and ultimately become a more empowered and savvy consumer.Analyzing Refund Rates
