So why didn't you include a more accurate description, such as 'never used'?Just received this email:

Hmmm, I'm selling a couple of items at the moment where I've described them as "as new condition". Did you say that in the title or the description?
In both. I've just amended it to 'hardly used', let's see what happens. I might actually call them, as I'm a valued customer, see.Scraggles said:
so the OP tries to sell something that is a year old and then tries to palm it off as new and not a year old AND is surprised that it is removed ?
Glad that ebay is protecting punters trying to pass off old goods "as new"
What is the physical difference between the two items if it's never been used you ball-sack Glad that ebay is protecting punters trying to pass off old goods "as new"


Something is either 'new' or it is 'used'. The term 'as new' has no legal meaning. You should describe its actual condition, not something that doesnt actually tell you its present condition. I think they allow 'mint' condition for example. (as 'mint' is a legally definable condition)
This is quite widely known and has been commented on here before.
