Fatobuy Spreadsheet Categories
A category is more than a filter. It tells you which photos, measurements and weight clues should decide whether a row deserves attention.
FIELD NOTE№ 01
Before saving a row, finish this sentence:
“This one stays because…”
CHECK
THE ROW
Quick answer
The short version
Choose the product type before you compare rows. Similar items expose missing details faster and make price, sizing, QC photos and shipping weight easier to judge.
Why it works
Categories turn a mixed list into a fair comparison
A single sheet can mix tiny accessories, bulky jackets and electronics. Those products do not share a sensible checklist. Category browsing narrows the evidence: outsole and insole for shoes; measurements and fabric for clothing; dimensions and structure for bags.
The links below open Findsindex’s broad category pages in a new tab. Treat them as places to browse, then check each result and its current destination for yourself.
Match the risk
Different products fail in different ways
Choose the evidence that could genuinely change your decision.
FIT
Wearables
Clothing and shoes need usable measurements, shape context and clear fit assumptions.
FORM
Structured items
Bags and jackets need dimensions, construction photos, hardware and a sense of packed volume.
SPEC
Electronics
Compatibility, plug or connector type, included parts and support limitations matter before styling.
SIZE
Small accessories
Adjustment range, closures, scale and material claims can matter more than headline price.

Open electronics on FindsindexSmall items, specific checks
Jerseys, shorts and hats need different details
For a jersey, check fabric, print or embroidery, badge placement and the same chest-and-length measurements you would use for another top. For shorts, waist method, rise and inseam tell you more than a size letter.
Hats need circumference, adjustment range and crown shape. Close photos of stitching, panels and closures help here because small construction differences can change both fit and appearance.
One item, one checklist
Let the product type decide what comes first
Shoes put sizing and sole photos near the top. Jackets need measurements, lining, closures and a sense of packed volume. Watches need case dimensions and honest specification limits, while electronics begin with compatibility and included parts.
A broad clothing or accessories page is only the starting point. Narrow the item to its real use, then choose the measurement, photo or specification that would make you reject it. That single question keeps the comparison focused.
Overlapping categories
Classify by the question, not only the product name
A lightweight overshirt could sit between shirts and jackets. Smartwatches can raise both accessory and electronics questions. Choose the category whose checklist covers the biggest uncertainty, then borrow one or two checks from the neighboring category.
When the classification changes how you would judge fit, compatibility, structure or shipping volume, write both labels in your note instead of forcing the product into one box.
Where to begin
Start where the unknowns are smallest
If you already know the item type, open that category. If your idea is still broad—“something for colder weather,” for example—compare Hoodies, Jackets and Outerwear-style needs before opening product pages.
For a mixed shortlist, separate it into product types and score each group with its own relevant photos and measurements. Do not let a strong shoe row make a weak bag row look acceptable.
Common mistakes
What makes category browsing messy again
01
Opening everything
A category narrows the field only if weak previews are allowed to stay unopened.
02
Using one checklist
Measurements that matter for pants do not replace compatibility details for electronics.
03
Comparing price alone
Material, size, photo quality and likely weight can explain a difference.
04
Saving vague labels
A category name is not enough; a row still needs useful supporting detail.
Before an external page
Use this five-second gate
- 1I know which category-specific detail I need to see.
- 2The row includes more than a title and one thumbnail.
- 3I will compare the page with similar finds, not judge it alone.
- 4I will recheck current product and source information myself.
