Use the shortlist method
Sort the links into compare, verify, park, or remove instead of opening more.
Decision-first reading
Choose the article that matches the problem in front of you: too many saved links, unclear photos, or a source link that no longer makes sense.
If you are in a hurry
Start with the problem you are trying to solve. Use the shortlist article when the list is too large, the QC article when photos feel persuasive but incomplete, and the source link article when a Weidian, Taobao, 1688, or Yupoo destination needs context.
Three focused reads
Give every serious option a category, reason, open question, and next action.
Build a useful shortlist →02 · InspectCheck identity, angle coverage, shape, finish, measurements, and what remains unseen.
Read QC photos better →03 · TraceFollow the destination carefully and separate source context from current item facts.
Understand source links →Problem-first reading
Sort the links into compare, verify, park, or remove instead of opening more.
Write the question first, then decide whether the available angle answers it.
Compare the row, destination, variant, and current page before trusting old notes.
Group similar items before comparing details that do not apply across categories.
What these articles do
Each article ends with something you can write down: a reason to keep the row, an unanswered photo question, or a source-link change that needs checking.
What they do not do
The articles organize browsing decisions. They cannot confirm stock, quality, authenticity, policies, shipping cost, delivery, refunds, or support from an external service.
