***Reminder: New Item Condition values will be mandatory by end July*** 

As announced on 28 April, the new Item Condition values will be mandatory by end July 2010. Seller who create new listings post 27 July will be required to select an Item Condition for their listing.

Introduced in early May, the new values have now replaced the basic New and Used options and are intended to help sellers better manage buyers' expectations and increase satisfaction with the transaction by clearly defining the condition of an item in a uniform way.

Sellers who have not updated their listings should do so by 27 July. For sellers with a large number of listings the process of updating them has been simplified with the new bulk edit and re-list tool [Link to - http://pages2.ebay.com.au/Hub/InsideSelling/Revised_Bulk_editing_tool] now available to eligible sellers.

Any Good 'Til Cancelled and Auto Re-List listings that are not updated with the new Item Condition values and are scheduled to re-list post 27 July, will be suspended until the Item Condition is updated.

Regards,

The eBay Team
