- Always view photos in full resolution by downloading them
- Compare against multiple authentic reference images from different angles
- Check all tags, labels, and packaging for spelling and placement errors
- Inspect stitching quality, thread color, and pattern alignment
- Verify hardware, zippers, and buttons function correctly
- When in doubt, request additional photos before approving
