QC Finder FAQ

QC stands for Quality Control. It refers to the process of inspecting product photos to verify how closely an item matches its authentic retail version before purchase.

Automated QC scores provide a helpful baseline, but you should always do a manual visual inspection. Look at stitching, logos, materials, and overall construction quality.

Scores of 8-10 are generally excellent. Scores of 6-7 may have minor flaws. Anything below 6 should be approached cautiously unless the price is very low.
