I know the new eBay policy about stating item condition is coming. It is not mandatory in all catagories. Will Vendio be alerting sellers that a condition must be selected on the mandatory catagories when creating a new listing or copying a listing? And will listings just fail that are not given the label 'new or used' on the mandatory catagories when submitting re-lists?

Hello,

Once these fields are required by eBay, the item should receive an error on preview or launch. Please be sure to preview your listings prior to launch to make sure that there isn't any problem with the item.

Regards,
Nathan

Just to be clear, though, not all catagories will be be mandatory, so if I should leave item condition blank (as I usually do), there should only be an error message or a failed launch if its in the catagories that have been deemed mandatory, correct? In other words, you will not put some sort of blanket message for all items if item condition is not chosen?

Hello,

Correct. We will not be forcing you to enter an item condition for items where it has not been made mandatory by eBay.

Regards,
Nathan

Hello Anne,

Thank you for the additional information, and I apologize for the confusion. The reason the item condition drop-down is blank for this item is because eBay does not currently provide an item condition option for the category in which it is listed.

Regards,
Nathan
