Research, writing and updates

Guides start with a specific seller question, use platform or government sources where a factual claim needs support, and are written around decisions a buyer can actually verify. We record a first-published and last-updated date. When a platform workflow, regulation or product assumption changes, we revise the relevant section instead of generating near-duplicate pages.

Evidence labels

Observed

Visible on the referenced page, image or user-provided input.

Sourced

Supported by a linked platform, government or other authoritative source.

Inferred

A reasonable research hypothesis that still needs confirmation.

Suggested

A question, next step or option offered to help the buyer investigate.

Not available

Information we could not confirm from the available evidence.

AI and human review

AI may organize product clues, translate research terms, draft comparisons and suggest follow-up questions. It can be wrong, miss context or overgeneralize from visual similarity. Content is reviewed for clarity, evidence boundaries, safety and disclosure before publication. Users remain responsible for supplier, legal, compliance and transaction decisions.

Corrections and commercial disclosures

If a factual error or outdated instruction is identified, we will review the source and update the page with a new date when appropriate. Any future affiliate link or commercial relationship will be disclosed near the relevant link and will not be presented as independent verification. We do not accept payment in exchange for calling an unverified supplier a factory or ranking a product as safe.
