AllChinaBuy Spreadsheet Categories

Pick the item type first. A shoe needs different photos and measurements from a hoodie, bag or watch, so each category has its own quick checks.

Q
Where should you start?

Choose one category and compare three to five rows. Use the same checks for each row, then open the products that still look useful.

What to check

Choose a category, then use the right questions

A low price can be distracting. Starting with the product type keeps fit, construction, useful photos and packed weight in the comparison.

Footwear

Shoes

Inspect the side and top profiles, sole, toe area, size guidance and likely box weight.

Footwear

Sneakers

Look for close-ups of the upper, labels, stitching, sole and an insole or foot-length reference.

Carry

Bags

Compare width, height and depth, then check the shape when empty, seams, lining, closures and hardware.

Browse bags ↗

Tops

Hoodies

Check chest width, body length, fabric, cuffs, hood shape and close-ups of any print or embroidery.

Browse hoodies ↗

Tops

Shirts

Look for garment measurements, collar and hem details, fabric texture, plus clear front and back views.

Browse shirts ↗

Outer layers

Jackets

Check body and sleeve length, lining, closures, material notes and how bulky the jacket may be when packed.

Browse jackets ↗

Bottoms

Pants

Waist method, rise, inseam, thigh width and stretch are more useful than a familiar size label alone.

Small details

Watches

Look for clear dial, case, crown, clasp and dimension photos. A polished thumbnail is not enough.

Browse watches ↗

Small details

Jewelry

Check dimensions, fastening, surface finish, material description and photos that show the item at a useful scale.

Browse jewelry ↗

Mixed small goods

Accessories

Use this section for belts, headwear, glasses or small add-ons that do not fit a narrower category.

Browse accessories ↗

Devices

Electronics

Check compatibility, specifications, plug or voltage needs, included parts and the available support information.

All category cards are configured to open their matching Findsindex routes in a new tab.

Not sure which category fits?

Choose the category that matches your biggest concern. If fit is the problem, start with clothing or footwear. If small construction details matter, start with watches, jewelry or accessories.

When an item could fit two sections, use the one with the more useful checklist. You can always return and try the other route.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Calling a row “good value” before considering weight.
  • Comparing clothing with no shared measurement method.
  • Saving several rows that reuse the same vague photo.
  • Treating a source name as a quality guarantee.
  • Opening every card without knowing what you need to check.
