Are all LitBuy links required to have QC photos?

Links in the main verified database must have at least one QC submission. The unverified sandbox tab may contain links without QC that are being tested.

How many QC photos does LitBuy have?

The LitBuy QC database contains over 200,000 photos across 8,500+ galleries covering sneakers, clothing, accessories, and more.

Can I trust QC photos from LitBuy?

Yes, they are submitted by real buyers, not sellers. They show the actual item you will receive under normal lighting conditions.

What if there are no QC photos for an item I want?

You can be the first to submit QC after ordering. Alternatively, search for the same item under different sellers in the spreadsheet who may have existing galleries.

How do I compare QC to retail?

Search for retail reference photos on official brand websites or stock photo sites, then compare side-by-side with the QC gallery in the spreadsheet.

What makes a good QC submission?

Clear lighting, multiple angles, close-up details, on-body or on-foot shots, and honest notes about flaws or sizing. These help future buyers the most.

Are QC photos updated if a batch improves?

Yes, when a new batch releases, community members submit new QC galleries. The spreadsheet tracks batch codes so you know which version the photos represent.

LitBuy QC Links: The Complete Database

QC links are the single most important feature of the LitBuy ecosystem. They connect you to real, unedited photos taken by actual buyers who have already received the item. These are not factory marketing photos or seller-edited images—they are authentic warehouse and home shots showing exactly what you will get.

The LitBuy QC link database contains over 200,000 photos across all major categories. Each QC link in the spreadsheet points to a gallery (usually Imgur or Google Photos) where you can inspect multiple angles, zoom into details, and compare against retail reference images.

How QC Links Work

Understanding the QC link workflow ensures you get maximum value from every link you check:

Each spreadsheet row has a QC Photos column containing a link to a community gallery.
Galleries typically contain 4-12 photos showing front, back, side, detail, and on-foot/on-body shots.
Photos are submitted by real buyers after receiving their items from agents.
Multiple buyers often submit galleries for the same item, giving you varied perspectives.
Community members comment on photos noting flaws, praising accuracy, or comparing to retail.

Reading QC Photos Like an Expert

Not all buyers take equally useful photos. Here is how to evaluate QC quality and spot the details that matter:

Lighting Check

Good QC uses natural or white light. Yellow indoor lighting distorts colors. Look for galleries with consistent lighting.

Angle Coverage

A complete QC set includes front, back, both sides, top, bottom, and at least one close-up detail shot.

On-Body Shots

For clothing, on-body photos reveal fit, drape, and true color better than flat-lay shots.

Retail Comparison

The best QC galleries include side-by-side photos with retail reference images for direct comparison.

Batch	QC Galleries	Avg Rating	Best For
LJR	1,800+	4.8/5	Jordan 1, Jordan 4
PK	1,400+	4.7/5	Yeezy, Travis Scott
M Batch	1,200+	4.6/5	Dunk Low
GX	900+	4.8/5	Jordan 4 premium
LW	800+	4.5/5	Yeezy 350, slides
Tzesn	600+	4.6/5	New Balance 550
OWF	500+	4.4/5	Off-White collaborations

Submitting Your Own QC Links

Upload to Imgur, Google Photos, or an equivalent hosting service.
Organize photos into an album with the item name in the title.
Submit the album link through the QC submission form in the main spreadsheet.
Add a brief comment about sizing, shipping time, and any flaws you noticed.
