- In the QC photos, carefully examine the product background, tags, and unique features.
- Look for any seller packaging, branded labels, or distinct item details
Step 3: The Critical Verification Check
This is the crucial moment to prevent error:
- Open your spreadsheet and click the source URL you stored for that item.
- Re-open the original product page. Examine the seller's photos, especially any showing tags, labels, or distinct patterns/colors.
- Compare these official listing photos directly with the agent's QC photos.
If they match, you can confidently approve shipping. If there's a discrepancy, you have caught the error before
