eBay will require book condition for Express listings

Only eBay listings which specify a book's condition will be eligible for display in the soon-to-be-launched Express fixed-price platform.

Sellers will indicate whether a book is "new" or "used." By contrast, eBay's Half.com has condition guidelines similar to Amazon Marketplace: New, Like New, Very Good, Good, and Acceptable.

See more on Express listing requirements and condition guidelines.

The guidelines cover most nonfiction and fiction books, but don't cover collectible or antiquarian books.
