Understanding Kakobuy QC Photos: Red Flags to Watch For

Kakobuy provides 3 free standard photos per item: front view, back view, and a detail shot. For most items, these are sufficient to catch major flaws. However, certain categories need specific angles. Shoes require sole, side profile, and insole photos. Hoodies and jackets need collar tags, wash tags, and stitching close-ups. Accessories need logo engraving and clasp mechanism shots.

If the free photos do not cover a critical angle, pay for a detailed photo. The 5-15 yuan fee is negligible compared to receiving a flawed item. Our kakobuy qc finder community maintains a category-specific photo checklist that you can reference before approving items.

Shoes: Misaligned swooshes, wrong toe box shape, poor heel tab stitching, and incorrect insole print are the most common issues. Hoodies: Off-center prints, wrong drawstring tips, inaccurate wash tag formatting, and thin fabric weight. Bags: Crooked logos, weak zippers, incorrect interior lining pattern, and poor strap attachment stitching. Watches: Misaligned date wheels, wrong crown engraving, and loose bezel action.

The kakobuy spreadsheet 2026 flaw database tracks the most common issues per item, so you know exactly what to zoom in on before green-lighting your warehouse items.

Green light if: flaws are minor and only visible under close inspection, the issue is common to retail batches too, or the flaw is in a hidden area. Request exchange if: the flaw is visually obvious at normal viewing distance, the item is completely wrong color or size, or the defect affects functionality. For shoes, any flaw on the outer lateral side is more serious than inner medial side flaws because the outer side is what people see.

Be reasonable with exchange requests. Agents charge return shipping to the seller, and some sellers do not accept returns. Check the seller's return policy in our spreadsheet before ordering if you are picky about perfection.
