1. QC (Quality Control) Speed & Thoroughness
This measures how quickly and effectively a seller inspects your items before shipping.
- High Score (8-10):
- Medium Score (4-7):
- Low Score (1-3):
2. Product Accuracy
The ultimate test: does the received item match the promised specifications, photos, and sample?
- High Score (8-10):
- Medium Score (4-7):
- Low Score (1-3):

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example: StoreABC | 2023-10-26 (#12345) | 9 | 8 | 10 | 9.0 | Excellent photos, fast. Color slightly off monitor but acceptable. |
