In the world of cross-border e-commerce, finding reliable sellers is half the battle. The MyCNBox Spreadsheet
A robust evaluation rests on three core data points. Consistently recording these for every order creates a clear, comparable history. Assign a consistent numerical score (e.g., 1-5 or 1-10) based on product inspection upon arrival. Consider: Spreadsheet Tip: Use a column for the score and conditional formatting to color-code results (e.g., green for 4-5, yellow for 3, red for 1-2). Track the frequency of problems requiring intervention. Calculate this as a simple percentage: (Number of Orders with Issues / Total Orders with Seller) * 100 An issue can be a major defect, a wrong item, or a missing part that leads to a partial/full refund or replacement. A low, stable rate is a key indicator of reliability. Record qualitative observations in a dedicated notes column. This context is invaluable: The true power emerges from consistent data entry and review. The MyCNBox Spreadsheet
