LoveGoBuy: Building a Robust Seller Rating System in Your Spreadsheet

Managing multiple sellers on platforms like TaoBao or 1688 for your LoveGoBuy business requires more than just intuition. A structured, data-driven Seller Rating System

Why Implement a Seller Rating System?

Without a formal tracking system, it's easy to forget which sellers delivered excellent quality control (QC) photos and which ones consistently shipped the wrong items. A dedicated rating column helps you:

Make Informed Repurchasing Decisions:
Spot Trends & Issues:
Streamline Agent Communication:
Build a Valuable Long-Term Database:

Building Your 3-Pillar Rating System

Add the following three scoring columns next to each seller entry in your main LoveGoBuy tracking spreadsheet. Use a consistent scale (e.g., 1-5, where 5 is excellent).

Rating Column What It Measures Scoring Guidelines (1-5 Scale)

1. QC Accuracy Does the received item match the product description, ordered specs, and QC photos provided by the agent? 5: 3: 1:

2. Price Reliability Is the seller's pricing consistent, fair, and without hidden fees? Do they honor listed prices? 5: 3: 1:

3. Customer Communication How responsive and cooperative is the seller via the agent? (e.g., handling returns, providing extra photos, answering pre-sale questions). 5: 3: 1:
