How to choose a category first
If the item is wearable but not footwear or a bag, start with clothing. If the item has a size run, sole shape, or batch comments, shoes is the safer place to start. Bags deserve their own pass because measurements, compartments, and hardware photos matter. Accessories are for the smaller add-ons that can be hard to judge from one image. Electronics should be checked more slowly because the wrong spec can make a cheap find useless.
