Understanding QC in the Oopbuy Spreadsheet
Quality Control (QC) is the single most important feature of the oopbuy spreadsheet ecosystem. QC photos are taken by sellers before your item is shipped, showing you the exact product you will receive.
Without QC, you are buying blindly. With QC, you can verify stitching, materials, logos, colors, and overall quality before committing to the shipment. This process is what makes spreadsheet shopping reliable and safe.
The QC Process Step by Step
Order
You place your order with the seller.

Seller receives your item from the factory.
Photos

Decision

What to Check in QC Photos
| Check Point | What to Look For | Common Issues |
|---|---|---|
| Logo | Position, size, alignment, clarity | Crooked, wrong size, blurry |
| Stitching | Even spacing, no loose threads | Uneven, loose, frayed |
| Color | Match to retail photos | Wrong shade, fading |
| Material | Texture, thickness, feel | Cheap, thin, wrong texture |
| Tags | Correct branding, placement | Missing, wrong tag |
| Sole (Shoes) | Pattern, branding, thickness | Wrong pattern, thin sole |
What to Do If QC Fails
If your QC photos reveal issues, you have several options. The most common approach is to request an exchange, where the seller will source a replacement from a different batch. Most reputable sellers offer 1-2 free exchanges.
If the batch is universally flawed, you can request a refund. Some sellers may offer store credit instead of cash refunds. For the best sellers, check our Trusted Sellers List.
QC Tips for Beginners
- Always compare QC photos to retail reference images.
- Ask the community for QC opinions on specific items.
- Minor flaws are normal; focus on major callout areas.
- Save QC photos in case you need to file a dispute later.
