OUR SELECTION METHOD
Useful selections.
Specific questions.
- Thirty homepage picks cover clothing, shoes, bags and accessories.
- Category product photographs are distinct from homepage selections.
- USD estimates are displayed first; original prices remain recorded in CNY. Product prices are separate from delivered costs.
- Unreviewed QC stays unconfirmed. Recorded QC is attributed to the source shown and may cover other options.
- Style and shape notes are editorial observations, not product test results.
How changes are handled.
Proposed product changes are reviewed before publication. We keep the source, the recorded check date and the reason for an update. Preparing an update or rebuilding a page does not automatically change the approved product selection or make its data newly verified.
If a reference appears wrong, save the page address, product name and recorded check date. Compare them with the current Repfind listing. A missing field stays unconfirmed until there is evidence to update it.
