2026-02-25

Sorting products by category is one of the most effective ways to save time and streamline your search on OopBuy. This tutorial will guide you through using the powerful spreadsheet filters to quickly locate items in specific categories like fashion, sneakers, or accessories, with a focus on finding those with high Quality Control (QC) approval rates.

Step 1: Accessing Your OopBuy Spreadsheet

Open your designated OopBuy sourcing spreadsheet. Ensure you are using the latest version provided by your agent or purchasing service, as it contains the necessary filter columns.

Step 2: Applying the Category Filter

Look for the column titled "Category", "Type", or similar.

  1. Click the filter icon (usually a small funnel or dropdown arrow) in the column header.
  2. A list of all available categories will appear. Deselect "Select All".
  3. Now, select your desired category: Fashion, Sneakers, or Accessories.
  4. Click "OK". Your spreadsheet will now display only items from that category.

This instantly narrows down thousands of listings to your area of interest.

Step 3: Refining by QC Approval Rate

To ensure quality, combine the category filter with the QC rating.

  1. Locate the column for "QC Pass Rate", "QC Score", or "Approval %".
  2. Click its filter icon and choose "Sort Largest to Smallest""Greater than 90%".
  3. The list will now be sorted, placing items with the highest reported QC approval rates at the top.

This two-filter method isolates high-probability, quality items within your chosen category.

Pro Tip: Save Filter Views

If you frequently search for "Sneakers with >95% QC Rate," save this filter combination as a "Filter View""Named Range."
