A mixed spreadsheet is good for ideas, but categories are better for decisions. Choose the item type first, compare products that behave the same way, then save the links with the clearest evidence.
Use this for hoodies, T-shirts, jackets, pants, knitwear, jerseys, sets, and other wardrobe items. Pay attention to measurements, fabric weight, print placement, and whether the listing photos match the row description.
Use this for sneakers, runners, casual shoes, leather shoes, sandals, and anything where shape and size matter. Check size charts, outsole shape, toe box, materials, and real photos before saving a link.
Use this for handbags, shoulder bags, crossbody bags, backpacks, duffels, luggage, and travel pieces. Compare size, strap length, hardware, lining, structure, and weight instead of judging only from the main photo.
Use this for hats, eyewear, scarves, belts, wallets, small jewelry pieces, and other finishing items. Small products still need close checks for finish, sizing, packaging, and whether the listing includes the exact piece shown.
Use this for earphones, smartwatches, phone accessories, chargers, desk gear, and small devices. Check compatibility, plug type, included parts, battery claims, and whether the product makes sense for your region before buying.
A spreadsheet row can be vague. It might be a seller note, a pasted link, or just a rough idea. Starting with a category gives each link the right context: shoes need shape checks, clothing needs measurements, bags need dimensions, and electronics need compatibility checks.
This makes browsing calmer. Instead of asking "is this a good link?" in the abstract, you ask better questions: does this hoodie have size evidence, does this bag show hardware clearly, or does this charger match the plug type I need?
For search inspiration, use the Fansbuy search guide to combine a category with checks such as QC photos, shipping weight, seller notes, or product links.
Open the page that describes the item, not the brand name or the sheet name. If the row says "summer fit" but the item is a shirt, compare it with clothing. If the row says "daily bag", compare it with bags.
Start with the product's function, then narrow by style. A leather sneaker still belongs with shoes because sizing and shape matter most. A phone case belongs with electronics or accessories depending on what you need to compare: device compatibility, material, or finish.
If a link could fit two categories, choose the one with the biggest risk. For example, a heavy jacket should be checked as clothing first, but shipping weight should also be considered before saving it.
