QuidSpec editorial policy

A retailer feed can reveal a possible bargain. It cannot decide whether the product deserves a recommendation.

Current automated checks

• Require a live GBP price and an original price supplied in the same listing.
• Include delivery cost and reject excessive postage.
• Require fixed-price listings from established, highly rated sellers.
• Check condition and UK item location.
• Reject obvious accessories, parts, empty boxes and broken items.
• Confirm that the outbound link contains QuidSpec affiliate tracking.

Until QuidSpec has its own reliable price history, it will not describe a listing as a historical low. Broader retailer comparisons will be added only when dependable feeds are available.

Commercial independence

Potential commission is excluded from the deal score. A retailer paying more commission cannot buy a better verdict or placement.

Price and availability

Technology prices and stock can change quickly. Every live listing must show when it was checked, and shoppers should confirm the final price and terms on the retailer’s page.

Corrections

When reliable evidence shows a published detail is wrong or stale, the listing should be corrected or removed rather than silently left to mislead shoppers.
