Link checklist for Hubbuy spreadsheet 2026 finds

Use this before a link moves from “interesting” to “worth buying.” A single good-looking photo can hide missing size notes, weak materials, or a listing that no longer matches what you expected.

Updated June 18, 2026

Photos

  • At least one close-up photo shows the material or surface.
  • Angles cover the front, side, back, and any important hardware.
  • The listing is not relying only on a polished catalog image.

Sizing and specs

  • Clothing includes measurements or a credible size chart.
  • Shoes include size conversion notes or buyer feedback where possible.
  • Watches, jewelry, and accessories include dimensions, close-ups, and material clues.

Listing page

  • The page still looks active and not abandoned.
  • Descriptions answer real buyer questions instead of repeating vague claims.
  • Price makes sense compared with similar links, not just in isolation.

Shortlist discipline

  • You know why the item made the shortlist.
  • You have compared at least one similar alternative.
  • You are not ignoring a clear flaw because the price is low.

Category-specific checks

  • Use the general checklist first.
  • Then apply the item-specific checks below.
  • Keep only links with enough evidence for the product type.

Shoes

  • Check size conversion notes before judging the price.
  • Look for real side, sole, heel, and toe-box photos.
  • Compare shape with at least one similar pair.

Clothing

  • Measurements matter more than a letter size.
  • Shoulder width, sleeve length, rise, inseam, and fabric weight change the fit.
  • Catalog photos should not be the only evidence.

Bags and accessories

  • Check zips, stitching, edge paint, lining, and hardware close-ups.
  • Look for interior photos if storage or structure matters.
  • Do not save a link if scale is impossible to judge.

Watches and jewelry

  • Look for dial, clasp, strap, engraving, and finish details.
  • Check dimensions so the item does not look different in person.
  • Be careful with listings that hide close-up surfaces.

Run the check inside the right category

The checklist works best when your starting point is specific. Open the relevant category, compare a few links, then keep only the ones with enough proof.
