Name the seller
Capture the seller name shown for the exact offer. Record a legal entity only when the retailer or marketplace identifies it.
DEEP DIVE · SELLER ROUTE
The storefront name is not the whole seller route.
The same marketplace product page can host multiple sellers, fulfilment methods and return responsibilities. A comparison must identify the actual commercial route rather than borrowing trust from the platform name.
Name the fulfiller
Record who stores and ships the item when that differs from the seller.
Read the support route
Identify who handles returns, refunds, delivery issues and product questions for the destination.
Preserve the offer ID
Keep the seller or offer identifier shown in retailer data so a seller change does not silently inherit the old evidence.
MARKETPLACE BOUNDARY
One product page can contain several non-equivalent offers.
A marketplace may change the default seller according to price, stock, location or account. A product-level link alone may not reproduce the route that was reviewed.
Seller ratings, platform badges and fulfilment labels can be useful context, but they do not replace the exact price, shipping and return details for the selected offer.
A comparison should name the seller and fulfiller shown for the route. It should not infer reliability or authenticity from the marketplace name alone.
Seller shown for the offer
The seller shown for the item must remain attached to the observed price.
Fulfilment party
Warehouse and delivery responsibility can affect timing, fees and support.
Return destination
Cross-border return costs and windows may differ by seller route.
Offer reassignment
A new seller requires new evidence instead of inheriting the previous record.
COMPARABLE ROUTE
Compare offers, not just catalogue pages.
The record should bind product identity, seller, fulfilment, destination, price and check time. If any binding changes, the offer returns to review.
A route tied to one named seller is easier to reproduce than a marketplace page that can rotate sellers between visits.
