There’s a thread on the UK PowerSeller board (log in required) where a seller of media, vibrant-cds, is complaining about Item Condition mapping between the UK and US. Items listed as “Used” on eBay UK are showing up as “Like New” on eBay.com.
This isn’t the first time that mappings between Item Specifics on International Sites haven’t been accurate. I remember a case from the past in clothing where Beige was showing as Nude. Although colour differences are important Item Condition is even more so as it’s now a required element when listing. It’s not obligatory to complete item specifics for colour but sellers have no option but to specify if their item is new or used (or in some categories other variants).
If you’re making your listings available internationally you need to double check what item condition is being displayed to buyers on other eBay sites, especially if you’re using the International Site Visibility listing upgrade.
