Step-by-Step Filtering Process
Follow these steps to narrow down the spreadsheet and find your ideal verified seller.
Step 1: Filter by Product Category
Locate the "Product Category" column header. Click the filter dropdown arrow. Deselect "Select All" and check only the specific category relevant to your search (e.g., "Men's Footwear"). This immediately removes unrelated sellers from view.
Step 2: Sort by Feedback Score
Click the filter arrow on the "Feedback Score" column. Choose "Sort Largest to Smallest" or set a custom number filter (e.g., "Greater than 4.5"). This prioritizes sellers with the highest historical customer satisfaction.
Step 3: Apply the QC Success Rate Filter
This is your most critical filter for quality. In the "Avg. QC Success Rate" column, apply a filter to show only sellers with a rate above a certain threshold. We recommend starting with >= 95%
Step 4: Analyze the Shortlisted Sellers
Your view will now show a refined list of sellers excelling in all three areas. Review their store names, links, and any additional notes provided in the LoongBuy spreadsheet before making your final choice.
