Welisen Spreadsheet Categories
The best category is not always the most popular one. Start where the product-specific questions are clear, then compare rows that should provide the same kind of evidence.
Choose the product type before you choose the row. Footwear needs shape and size evidence; clothing needs measurements; bags need scale and interior details; watches and electronics need usable specifications. Category-first browsing makes missing information easier to spot.
Why categories matter
One sheet, different standards
A useful photo set depends on the product type. Choose a lane first, then compare rows that should provide the same evidence.
Shoes
Check size system, insole length, profile, sole, and likely packed weight.
Browse directoryHoodies
Compare garment measurements, cuffs, hood, zipper, seams, and fabric weight.
Browse directoryShirts
Look for chest, shoulder, length, fabric, collar, and print details.
Browse directoryJackets
Inspect lining, closures, fill, panels, measurements, and bulky weight.
Browse directoryPants
Use waist, rise, inseam, leg opening, stretch, and pocket details.
Browse directoryBags
Check scale, interior, dimensions, closures, hardware, and empty weight.
Browse directoryAccessories
Confirm usable dimensions, material, adjustment range, and fastening points.
Browse directorySneakers
Compare both shoes, outsole, toe, heel, stitching, and actual length.
Browse directoryWatches
Review case and strap dimensions, clasp, dial, and stated functions.
Browse directoryShorts
Compare waist, rise, length, fabric, pockets, and fit notes.
Browse directoryJewelry
Confirm measurements, stated material, fastening, setting, and scale.
Browse directorySweaters
Look for chest, length, knit density, collar, cuffs, and care notes.

Which category should you start with?
Start with the item you can describe most precisely. “A bag” is broad; “a small shoulder bag with a zip closure and room for a 20 cm item” gives you a working filter. If you cannot describe the need yet, browse the nearest parent category and write down the dimensions or features that keep appearing.
Once the category is clear, compare only rows that can answer the same questions. Footwear should show profile, outsole, and insole length. Clothing needs garment measurements and construction details. Bags should show scale, interior, and closures, while smaller accessories benefit from exact dimensions and fastening details. The product type changes the evidence you need; it does not make the row reliable by itself.
Electronics can add questions about compatibility, batteries, warranties, and regional support. If those details are not clear, keep the row out of the shortlist until an appropriate official channel can answer them.
Mistakes to avoid
- Comparing a photo-heavy row with a measurement-heavy row as if they provide the same evidence.
- Assuming the visible image matches the cheapest selectable option.
- Using a familiar brand or model name as a substitute for category checks.
- Ignoring package size because the item price looks attractive.
- Opening every row before defining the fit, size, function, or material you actually need.
Do not let a familiar brand or model replace the category checks. Describe the item first, then inspect the external product details yourself.
Checklist before opening external pages
- I know which category standard I am using.
- The row offers at least one useful detail beyond a title image.
- I know the missing measurement or photo I need to find.
- I will compare it with similar items rather than judge it alone.
- I have considered weight, bulk, and third-party link risk.
Continue with the full seven-point checklist. If the main uncertainty is visual or fit-related, use the QC photo guide or measurement guide before opening more links.
