An annual review of your LoveGoBuy shopping data is a powerful habit. By systematically analyzing your orders, refunds, and Quality Control (QC) performance, you can measure long-term shopping efficiency and pinpoint your most trusted sellers.
Step 1: Gather and Structure Your Data
Export or compile your yearly order information into a structured spreadsheet. Essential columns should include:
- Order Date & ID:
- Seller Name/Store:
- Item & Price:
- QC Result:
- Refund Status:
- Agent Notes:
- Seller Name/Store:
Step 2: Summarize Key Metrics
Create summary tables or use pivot functions to calculate:
| Metric | What It Measures | Calculation Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Total Orders & Spend | Overall shopping volume and investment. | Sum all orders. Track month-over-month trends. |
| Refund Rate (%) | Seller/item reliability and pre-QC accuracy. | (Orders with Refunds / Total Orders) * 100. |
| QC Pass Rate (%) | Direct product quality from sellers. | (QC Passed Orders / Total Orders) * 100. |
| Cost per Successful Item | True cost efficiency. | Total Spend / (Total Orders - Refunded Orders). |
Step 3: Identify Trusted Sellers
Filter and sort your data by seller/store. Your trusted sellers will typically show:
- A high volume of repeat orders from you.
- A QC Pass Rate of 95% or higher.
- A Refund Rate near 0%, indicating accurate listings and good service.
- Positive notes in the Agent Notes column.
Flag these sellers in your spreadsheet for future shopping priority.
