Oopbuy QC Photos Explained: How to Check Quality Before Buying
One of the most important steps in using the Oopbuy spreadsheet is reviewing QC (Quality Control) photos before making a purchase. This guide will teach you exactly how to interpret QC photos and what to look for to ensure you receive the best possible product.
What Are QC Photos?
QC photos are images taken by the seller or a third-party inspector showing the actual product you'll receive. Unlike stock photos, QC images show the real item with all its details, including any potential flaws or variations.
When you use the oopbuy spreadsheet, every listed item should have associated QC photos. These are your best tool for making informed purchasing decisions.
Why QC Photos Matter
Without QC photos, you're essentially buying blind. The Oopbuy QC photo system exists because:

- 5Hardware quality (zippers, buttons) needs checking
How to Read QC Photos
For Shoes
When reviewing shoe QC photos, check:
- Sole alignment: Is the sole evenly attached?
- Stitching: Are the stitches even and tight?
- Logo placement: Is the logo correctly positioned?
- Color accuracy: Does the color match the listing?
- Box and accessories: Are all original accessories included?
For Clothing
For hoodies, t-shirts, and jackets from our spreadsheet database:
- Fabric texture: Does it look premium?
- Print quality: Is the print crisp and clear?
- Seam alignment: Are seams straight and even?
- Tag accuracy: Do the tags look authentic?
For Accessories
Accessories require the most careful QC review:
- Hardware quality: Check zippers, clasps, and buckles
- Stitching: Examine all seams closely
- Material: Does the leather/canvas look premium?
- Logo embossing: Is it deep and clear?
QC Rating System
Our Oopbuy spreadsheet uses a 10-point QC rating system:

| 9-9.4 | Excellent quality, minor differences only |
| 8-8.9 | Good quality, some noticeable differences |
