In early October, we plan to introduce item condition (e.g., New: With Tags, New Without Tags, etc.) in Clothing, Shoes & Accessories. If you list in a category that already has Item Specifics, your item condition options (e.g., New: With Tags) will remain unchanged.

Examples of some categories that will have a new item condition include: Infants & Toddlers, Boys, Girls, Uniforms and Wholesale, Large & Small Lots.

Item condition is an important piece of information for buyers, and we’ve found that listings with specified conditions are more likely to sell. For clothing, shoes & accessories, item condition is especially important to buyers, and clearly indicating whether an item is new or used improves the rate of success across these types of listings.

While buyers won’t be able to immediately filter using item condition, the item condition selected by the seller will appear on the item page just above the description.

Item condition will be available in early October for sellers who list items through the Sell Your Item form, Turbo Lister, Seller Assistant, Seller Assistant Pro, or Selling Manager Pro. For these eBay seller tools, this may require downloading an update. If you utilize a 3rd party listing service (e.g., Andale, Marketworks, etc.), please contact them to verify that they will offer the item condition functionality in these categories.

Visit the item condition landing page to learn how to adopt item condition. If you have comments or feedback about item condition, please email them to ebaymichelle@ebay.com and they will be considered for future enhancements.
