Shoes
Shoes are often the best first test of a spreadsheet because small listing differences matter. Look for size charts, sole photos, color naming, and pictures that show the actual pair instead of only a polished product image.
A good shoe row should make sizing easy to check. If the listing hides size choices, has no sole or side photos, or uses the same image for every colorway, keep it as inspiration rather than a final pick.
Bags
Bags need more than a front photo. Look for interior shots, strap hardware, measurements, and weight. If two listings use the same image set but the details disagree, keep searching.
For bags, the small details matter. Dimensions, zipper photos, handle shape, and interior layout often tell you more than the first image.
Hoodie
The hoodie category is where measurements matter most. Chest width, length, sleeve length, and fabric weight matter more than a clean cover image.
Pay attention to fabric weight and fit language. Oversized, boxy, cropped, and regular fit can mean very different things across sellers.
Jackets, pants, and shorts
For jackets, pants, shorts, and similar clothing, compare the cut before the label. Shoulder width, sleeve length, waist, inseam, and leg opening are more useful than a short product title.
These categories are where old spreadsheet rows can be misleading. Re-open the item link and check whether the photos, size table, and SKU choices still match the row.
Accessories
Accessories can look simple, but they vary a lot in finish and scale. For watches, glasses, headwear, jewelry, belts, and small add-ons, look for close-up photos and actual dimensions.
This category is good for filling a haul, but it is also easy to over-save. Keep the items where scale, material, and color are clear enough to compare.
Bottoms
Bottoms are easy to misjudge from one photo. Check waist, rise, inseam, leg opening, and whether the fit shown in photos matches the size table.
Bottoms deserve a slower check than most people give them. If you cannot understand the cut from the measurements and photos together, do not rely on the product title.
When to leave the category
Once you know the exact item name or store clue, use search again. Categories are for discovery; search is better for confirming a specific lead. If the results are too vague, use the search ideas page to add details like QC photos, sizing, agent link, or marketplace source.
How to compare categories without getting lost
Use categories for different jobs. Shoes and bottoms are measurement-heavy. Bags and accessories are detail-heavy. Hoodies sit somewhere in the middle: measurements matter, but fabric and shape also decide whether a listing is worth saving.
