Kakobuy Spreadsheet Seller Check FAQ
Answers stay on the page in front of you and never reach beyond what it shows.
Signal questions
- Which signal matters most?
- Listing coherence: when title, photos, and options disagree, the other signals have nothing stable to support.
- How old can a listing be?
- Age is context, not a signal alone; a dated old listing with coherent parts can still support a row.
- Do shop follower counts count?
- Only as context; counts are platform-rendered and do not describe this row's listing.
Outcome questions
- What does a mixed outcome change?
- The row saves with a flag naming the exact mismatch and its next recheck question.
- When is a source doubtful?
- When identity itself is uncertain: the photos, title, or options point at different products.
- Can a doubtful source recover?
- Yes, when a later listing state resolves the conflict; the recheck note records what changed.
Boundary questions
- Does a pass mean the item is authentic?
- No. The check reads listing consistency; authenticity questions belong to the platform's inspection process.
- Does the check predict delivery?
- No. Logistics questions live with the carrier and platform after an order exists.
- Should checks mention the shop name?
- Keep the shop reference factual and dated; reputation language stays out of the row.
Outcome notes
Flags age better than feelings
A row saved with a named mismatch and a recheck date survives later confusion; a row saved on a vague impression does not.
Gaps stay visible
Unanswered parts of a question stay named instead of papered over.
Decisions stay dated
Every recheck carries the date that makes it retraceable.
Carry unanswered parts into the next live check
A static answer should never disguise a changing platform detail.
Delivery and routing questions are handled by the Kakobuy shipping guide rather than this check.
