eBay has changed how you describe the condition of used clothing items. Now, when you list pre-owned clothes, the default condition will be \u201cPre-owned\u2014Good.\u201d To give buyers a clear idea of the item\u2019s condition, you can change this to \u201cPre-owned\u2014Excellent,\u201d \u201cPre-owned\u2014Good,\u201d or \u201cPre-owned\u2014Fair.\u201d Here\u2019s how you can update the status of your used clothing on eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the New Condition Categories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  2. Pre-owned \u2013 Good<\/strong>: Gently used, with minor signs of wear and maybe some small flaws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pre-owned \u2013 Fair<\/strong>: Heavily worn, with noticeable flaws or damage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
