OrientDig: Tracking Seller QC Performance for Smarter Haul Decisions
In the world of replica and fashion hauls, seller reliabilitylong-term performance history
Why Compare Historical QC Data?
Making purchasing decisions based on a single data point is risky. A seller might have one perfect item but a history of flawed products, or vice versa. By comparing historical QC results, you can:
- Identify Consistent Performers:
- Spot Red Flags:
- Make Data-Driven Decisions:
- Save Time and Money:
- Spot Red Flags:
How to Use the OrientDig Spreadsheet for Seller Comparison
1. Finding the Seller Data
The OrientDig Spreadsheet is typically organized by seller, item, and batch. Navigate to the section dedicated to the sellers you are investigating. Each seller will have a profile or a linked sheet containing their QChistory.
2. Understanding the Key Metrics
For each seller's history, focus on these critical data points:
| Metric | Description | What to Look For |
|---|---|---|
| Total QC Reviews | The total number of QC submissions recorded for the seller. | A higher number provides a more reliable data set. |
| GL (Green Light) Rate | The percentage of items that were given a "Green Light" by the community or the original poster. | A consistently high GL rate (e.g., >90%) indicates strong reliability. |
| Common Flaws / RL (Red Light) Reasons | A categorized list of the most frequently cited flaws that led to a "Red Light." | Look for patterns. Avoid sellers with recurring, major flaws. |
| Batch Consistency | Consistency of quality within the same production batch. | Sellers with high batch-to-batch consistency are more predictable. |
| Communication & Service Rating | An assessment of the seller's responsiveness and handling of issues. | A good seller not only has good items but also good service. |
3. Performing a Side-by-Side Comparison
Let's say you are deciding between Seller A and Seller B for a pair of Jordan 1s.
- Open Tabs for Both Sellers:
- Compare GL Rates:
- Analyze Flaw Patterns:
- Check the "Verdict" Notes:
- Compare GL Rates:
4. Creating a Simple Performance Matrix (Example)
To visualize the comparison, you can create a quick matrix for the sellers you are evaluating for a specific item category (e.g., sneakers).
| Seller Name | GL Rate (Last 6 Months) | Most Common Flaw | Overall Reliability Score* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller A (Weidian Store) | 92% | Minor Stitching Error | 9/10 |
| Seller B (Yupoo Seller) | 85% | Sole Color Inaccuracy | 7/10 |
| Seller C (Weidian Store) | 78% | Major Sizing Issue | 5/10 |
*A subjective score based on aggregated community feedback.

Conclusion
By moving beyond a single QC photo set and diving into the historical data within the OrientDig Spreadsheet, you transform yourself from a casual buyer into an informed shopper. Comparing sellers' long-term QC performance is the most effective strategy to consistently identify reliable suppliers, minimize risks, and build hauls you can be confident about. A little historical research can save a lot of future disappointment.
