Buying from image only
A product photo is not enough; check live option, price and seller details.

USFans spreadsheet common mistakes
Avoid the mistakes that make a good product row turn into a bad order decision.
Buyer checks
What to verify first
Use this page as a warning list before payment, especially when a row looks tempting but evidence is thin.
Skipping QC detail
Warehouse photos should match size, colour, tags and visible condition.
Ignoring shipping cost
Heavy shoes, jackets and electronics can change the real cost.
Category path
Use the row before the cart
Read the row for missing proof: unclear option, changed price, weak QC angles, route limits or coupon timing. The mistake is usually not one bad click, but a chain of skipped checks.
Buyer decision notes
How this page should help before payment
The mistakes page is a brake before payment. It should catch the common shortcuts: trusting one product image, missing the selected option, skipping QC angles or ignoring parcel cost.
Use it when an item feels too easy to buy. If price, stock, option, QC proof or route details are thin, the buyer should pause before the mistake becomes a paid parcel problem.
When to continue
Continue when the row survives the mistake list: live option, price, QC evidence, route and coupon timing are all checked.
When to pause
Pause if you are relying on a product photo alone, ignoring parcel weight or approving QC before comparing the selected option.
Next useful page
Move to QC photos when the mistake involves colour, size, label or visible condition.
Buyer intent
Why this page exists
This mistakes page is for buyers who are close to ordering but need one last quality control pass. It turns rushed decisions into a short list of proof points to confirm.
A mistakes page should slow down the order at the exact point where buyers usually rush.
What is the biggest spreadsheet mistake?
Treating a row as final proof instead of a starting point for verification.
When should I pause an order?
Pause when price, stock, QC photo or route detail is unclear.
