Step 4: Key Comparison Points
Systematically compare these elements between the seller's listing photos and your QC images:
| Feature to Check | Where to Look |
|---|---|
| Overall Design & Silhouette | Shape, proportions, and overall layout. |
| Logos & Branding | Placement, size, font, and stitching of any logos or tags. |
| Material & Texture | Does the fabric, leather, or material look identical? |
| Color | Be mindful of lighting differences, but check for obvious color mismatches. |
| Unique Details | Stitching patterns, specific hardware (zippers, buttons), embellishments. |
| Packaging & Accessories | If included, verify dust bags, extra laces, boxes, etc. |
Step 5: Mark Your Spreadsheet & Communicate
Once verified, update your ItaoBuy spreadsheet status or notes. If you find a discrepancy, immediately contact your agent with clear notes (e.g., "QC shows red logo, but link shows blue logo on Step 4 of seller's images"). Provide screenshot comparisons if needed.
