Step-by-Step Recording Procedure
Follow these steps for each item in the group buy to maintain a flawless record.
Step 1: Locate Your Entry
Open the master BBDBuy spreadsheet and find the row corresponding to your purchase. Identify the columns dedicated to "QC Photo Links""Original Purchase Link".
Step 2: Upload and Document QC Photos
Once you receive QC photos from the agent or seller:
- Upload all images to a permanent, shareable image hosting service (e.g., Imgur, Google Drive, BBDBuy's internal album).
- In the "QC Photo Links" cell for your item, paste the direct URLs
- Ensure photos clearly show:
Step 3: Record the Purchase Link
In the "Original Purchase Link" column, paste the exact URL
Step 4: Verify and Complete
Double-check your entry. The link column should directly mirror the source, and each QC photo URL should be functional. A complete record looks like this:
| Item Description | Original Purchase Link | QC Photo Links |
