Frequently Asked Questions

How many QC photos should I request on ACBuy?
Request at least 8 photos for sneakers, 10+ for bags, and 6+ for clothing. ACBuy includes QC photos by default, but you can request additional angles in the QC comments section. Never approve based on 2-3 photos — key details are always in the additional shots.
What happens if I reject ACBuy QC photos?
If you reject QC photos, ACBuy contacts the seller for a reshoot or processes a refund/replacement depending on the issue. For minor issues (lighting, angle), request a reshoot. For major defects (wrong color, significant damage), request a return. ACBuy provides buyer protection for items significantly different from listing photos.
What is the most common reason to reject ACBuy QC photos?
The most common rejection reasons: blurry photos (request reshoot), wrong color vs listing, hardware quality worse than expected, stitching defects visible in close-up, and logo placement/font inaccuracy. For bags, seam pattern misalignment is a common catch.
How long does ACBuy QC take?
ACBuy typically processes QC photos within 24-48 hours of receiving items at their warehouse. You'll receive a notification to review photos. Once you approve, shipping is arranged. The full process from order to QC photos is usually 3-7 business days.
