Understanding the quality indicators is crucial for identifying reliable sellers:

|---|---|---|
| QC Score | A numerical (often 1-10) or letter-grade rating based on community feedback on product accuracy, materials, and craftsmanship. | Prioritize sellers with consistently high scores (e.g., 8+/10, A/B grade). Check multiple entries to ensure consistency. |
| Verification Status | Indicates if a seller or store has been vetted by experienced community members or the ACBuy team. | Look for labels like "Verified," "Trusted," or "Community Approved." |
| User Reviews & Notes | Qualitative comments from buyers about their experience, shipping, or specific item details. | Read these notes carefully for practical insights not captured by scores alone (e.g., "size runs small," "excellent communication"). |
