Good condition means very different things in secondhand listings

Anonymous

One person's good condition includes visible scratches; another uses the same phrase for something barely touched. Photos can help, but a distant picture in flattering light may miss the details a buyer wants to understand. A clear description of wear is usually more useful than a generous adjective. What should a secondhand listing always show? Think corners, fastenings, dimensions and what is included. Keep replies about useful listing information rather than accusing a particular seller of hiding something without evidence.

A close-up of existing wear can make a listing more useful than another full view. Which areas depend most on the type of item?

Please remove names, profile photos and addresses from any example screenshots. Describing the wording or missing detail is usually enough.
