How to Choose the Right Seller on Litbuy Spreadsheet
A systematic approach to evaluating sellers: review patterns, photo quality, response time, and shipping consistency. Stop guessing and start buying with confidence.
Review Count: The First Filter
A seller with 100+ reviews is more reliable than a seller with 5 reviews. Volume matters because it indicates consistent service. However, volume alone is not enough. You also need to check the review quality.
Review Recency: Current Quality Matters
A seller with 500 reviews from 2024 but only 2 reviews from 2026 is a risk. Recent reviews tell you the current quality. Look at the most recent 20 reviews. If they are positive and detailed, the seller is likely still good.
Photo Quality: The Seller's Attention to Detail
Sellers who provide detailed QC photos are more reliable. If a listing has only one generic photo, the seller is cutting corners. Good sellers show multiple angles, close-ups, and detail shots.
Response Time: Communication Is a Signal
Sellers who respond within 24 hours are more professional. Slow response times indicate poor service. Send a simple question before ordering and measure the response time. This is a reliable quality signal.
Shipping Consistency: Check the Timeline
Read reviews for shipping mentions. Consistent shipping within the stated timeframe is a sign of a professional seller. Sellers with frequent shipping delays are not worth the risk.
