This topic outlines the eBay item condition ID and name values, including the condition definitions, display names, and eBay category support.

Note: The condition IDs and definitions discussed in this topic are based on the US marketplace. For site-specific item condition definitions, see the following documentation based on the desired marketplace: 

Condition Definitions

Numeric condition IDs are used consistently for similar item conditions across all marketplaces and categories. For example, 1000 is the numeric ID that is always used for brand new items in their original retail packaging (or equivalent).

Condition display names and the subset of supported conditions can vary in different categories. Refer to Item condition by category for additional information.

The following table provides information about each item condition:

Note: Condition ID values are returned by the getItemConditionPolicies call of the Metadata API. However, the createOrReplaceInventoryItem call of the Inventory API uses text-based enumeration values. The corresponding ConditionEnum values are included for each numeric Condition ID value.

eBay Refurbished Program

The eBay Refurbished Program was introduced in 2020. With the first phase of this program, the 'Manufacturer Refurbished' item condition was replaced by the 'Certified Refurbished' item condition across all categories (that supported 'Manufacturer Refurbished') in multiple eBay marketplaces. With the second phase of this program, the 'Seller Refurbished' item condition (Condition ID 2500) is getting deprecated in some categories in multiple eBay marketplaces and being replaced by 'Excellent - Refurbished' (Condition ID 2010), 'Very Good - Refurbished' (Condition ID 2020), and 'Good - Refurbished' (Condition ID 2030).

For each of these four refurbished item conditions, sellers must apply and qualify to list with these item conditions in the supported eBay marketplaces and categories. The definitions of these refurbished item conditions can be found in the table above. For more information on the eBay Refurbished Program, including the qualification requirements and application process see the eBay Refurbished Program page in the Seller Center.

Category and marketplace support for the eBay Refurbished Program

The 'Certified Refurbished' item condition is supported in all eBay marketplaces and categories that supported the now deprecated 'Manufacturer Refurbished' item condition.

As of September 2022, the 'Excellent - Refurbished', 'Very Good - Refurbished', and 'Good - Refurbished' item conditions have replaced the 'Seller Refurbished' item condition in the categories and marketplaces as indicated in the following table.

Using Metadata API to retrieve supported item conditions

The getItemConditionPolicies method of the Metadata API can be used to see which categories support the refurbished item conditions. Typically, the getItemConditionPolicies method requires an Application OAuth token, but to see if a seller is eligible to list with the 'Certified - Refurbished', 'Excellent - Refurbished', 'Very Good - Refurbished', or 'Good - Refurbished' item conditions, a User OAuth token must be used, and these item conditions will only be retrieved in the response if the seller is eligible to list with them.

Sellers that are not eligible to list with any of these item conditions will be blocked from listing, and they will have to retry their API call using an equivalent (but non-refurbished) condition.
