Can you find the weird word here?
Item Condition
Important: This field reflects the new way of specifying the item condition for an eBay item. The previous way of specifying the item condition (in the Item Specifics or Custom Item Specifics) will be deprecated (eBay announcement).
If this is a Vendio error, I stand corrected. Still, wouldn't you think a staffer would have caught this after so long?

Ebay may have outsourced some tasks to Asia,this reads more like coming from an Asian ,not Indian but Chinese or Korean or Japanese.

Okay, here's a clue to the error: In the last sentence, "Deprecated" is totally the wrong word here (means disdained, etc.), and honestly I cannot think of the word they needed. "Depreciated" wouldn't be it, either.
In computer software or authoring programs standards and documentation, the term deprecation is applied to software features that are superseded and should be avoided. Although deprecated features remain in the current version, their use may raise warning messages recommending alternative practices, and deprecation may indicate that the feature will be removed in the future. Features are deprecated—rather than being removed—in order to provide backward compatibility and give programmers who have used the feature time to bring their code into compliance with the new standard.

Interesting...no one person or Company should use 'Industry-Speak' when communicating with the masses who are not a part of their Industry.
