LISTING MATCH REVIEW

Check listing identity before comparing prices.

Review two fictional listing pairs to identify the missing identity, variant, quantity and condition evidence before comparing prices.

Two pairs, separate source records.

Shared values can guide a review. Keep each source record separate until identity and price conditions are established.

1688 and Taobao: shared clues.

Clues
The titles match. One demo variant shares identifier, colour and size values across both records. 1688 shows quantity tiers; Taobao shows variant prices.
Missing evidence
No verified cross-source identity link is supplied. Neither record states its condition or establishes that the item is new. Taobao also omits price_unit and minimum_order_quantity.
Review decision
Keep separate records pending human matching and confirmation of a comparable quantity-price basis.

Taobao and Goofish: condition needs review.

Clues
Goofish supplies asking_price and stated_condition; Taobao supplies variant listed_price values.
Missing evidence
Taobao omits condition. The records establish neither common item identity nor a matching variant.
Review decision
Keep asking and variant prices separate. Review identity and condition before inferring a price difference for one item.

Four checks to carry into your review.

Apply these questions to representative sources, keeping original values and unresolved gaps visible.

  1. Retain source identity

    A shared title or demo identifier is a review clue, not a cross-platform item key.

  2. Check the intended variant

    Compare the option and specifications required by your task; matching colour and size alone do not establish identity.

  3. Keep the price basis

    Read currency, unit, quantity and conditions together. An omitted unit or MOQ is not a supplied null value.

  4. Require observation evidence

    Use source_url and observed_at to assess provenance. Here both are null; no observation date is supplied.

Bring the comparison you need to review.

Share representative links, intended specifications and quantity conditions through the contact page. Agree what a project sample needs to establish.
