Choose the category before you compare.

The best starting point is the one that matches how the item is judged. Shoes are not checked like bags. Electronics are not checked like hoodies. Start where the details make sense.

When two categories both seem possible

Choose the category that helps you check the detail most likely to cause a problem. A belt may feel like clothing, but length, buckle, and finish matter more than garment fit.

01

Choose by the detail that can go wrong

For shoes, that detail is often size conversion, toe shape, or sole profile. For bags, it is usually dimensions, strap length, zipper quality, or interior space. For electronics, it is model compatibility, plug type, charging standard, or included accessories.

02

Use broad categories only at the beginning

Broad clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories pages are fine when you are still exploring. Once you know the product type, a narrower page is usually easier to compare because the photos, measurements, and risk checks become similar.

03

Do not force a category because it has more links

A busy page is not always better. If a page contains too many unrelated items, the comparison gets weaker. The right category is the one where the listings answer the same kind of buying question.
