Xianyu Seller Photos vs. Warehouse QC

Save the Xianyu listing before you order. Once the item arrives in China, compare the warehouse photos with the seller’s pictures and written answers. If a detail matters to your decision, specify which close-up or measurement you need before international dispatch.

Before paying, turn the listing into a checklist

Keep the listing URL, the selected version, the seller’s photos and the original Chinese answers. Ask the seller to point out repairs or wear and confirm what is included. “Like new” leaves room for interpretation. “A close-up of both cuffs and a flat chest measurement” gives you something you can check.

• Clothing. Ask for photos of cuffs, hems and fastenings. For fit, specify how the garment should be laid out and where the tape starts and ends.
• Collectibles. Ask for the edition, the visible markings and a photo of everything included. Note which inserts or accessories matter to you.
• Used equipment. Ask about visible damage, past repairs and included parts. Confirm separately whether the item can be tested or shipped on your route.

What a warehouse check can show

Start with an overall photo to identify the item and version. Then compare the same areas in the two sets of pictures. Look for the wear the seller disclosed and check each promised accessory. Ask for a closer image if glare, shadows or packaging make something hard to see.

Example of a measurement request

If a seller gives a flat chest width, ask for the tape to be laid from one underarm seam to the other with the garment flat. Ask for a photo that shows both ends of the tape. When the two readings differ, first check whether they used the same points and units. You can then decide whether the difference matters to your fit.

Use the same approach for any deal-breaker. Record what the seller said, what the warehouse photo shows, and what you want the buying team to check next.

When to ask for extra help

Standard Fishgoo purchases include the ordinary warehouse photos. If you want Fishgoo to ask the seller specific questions before buying, or check a list of details after delivery, compare the optional Xianyu services. Ask what the work covers and what it costs before you approve it. Photos and measurements document visible details. Authentication or technical testing requires separate confirmation.

If a detail differs, ask the team about the seller’s available options before dispatch. The listing terms and the timing of your request affect what can be done.
