Selling a used item of clothing. But now no option of 'used'.

[thomp1813]

Is anyone else having a problem listing from scratch an item of clothing which is 'used'. My only option now when creating a listing shows as new (3 options) and nothing for 'used'. The only way I have found round this is to copy someone else's listing for a used item. 

Does this mean I have to always use the 'sell similar' from now on?

This is the latest announcement 

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/Update-to-our-new-conditions-for-pre-loved-clothing-fo...

At the top of the announcement is a link to what was said, but now appears to have been delayed. Another grand idea gone wrong.

Ebay do not seem to understand in any case, that different people would have different standards in deciding condition of second hand clothes.

Yep,  the descriptions for used clothing has changed,  see here:

Used - Excellent	Like new, previously worn, but with little to no signs of wear.  This item has been previously worn, however, it’s in excellent condition. Any signs of wear should be shown and described in the seller’s listing.
Used - Good	Gently used with light signs of wear and/or visible flaws. This item has been gently used and is in good condition. It might have a few signs of wear, but all imperfections should be shown and described in the seller’s listing.
Used - Fair	Significantly visible flaws, heavy signs of wear, and/or missing or damaged components. This item has significantly visible imperfections and signs of wear. All imperfections should be shown and described in the seller’s listing. @thomp1813

Yes I understand the new descriptions for used clothing but I don't have any of these options when creating a new listing. The only options given are for new clothing. 

Another member has suggested this may also have been put on hold.....

It would be good to know if that is the case.

I just did a test sale and I received this for options for description, the used option is there:

Select the condition of your item

New with tags

New without tags

New with defects

Used

 

Which device are you using?  If the app or mobile browser switch if you can to  a laptop / PC  and use Chrome that seems to work well with eBay.

 

Also if not already on it, list from the Seller Hub here:

As it's Friday it's eBay's maintenance day and sometimes things go a little awry,  some options just not available, might also then,  be worth trying  a little later on see if the ' used' option is available for you.

I've tried from my phone and PC and don't have the user option. 

As you suggest I'll try again later or tomorrow. Or if I have to I'll use 'sell similar'. Thanks.
