A fking sewing machine! It's never been used, is still in the box, so is exactly as it was when it was new. So isn't it "as new"? Cranks!

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?

So why didn't you include a more accurate description, such as 'never used'?

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" smile

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.

"As New" seems like a perfectly accurate description to me... confused

What is the physical difference between the two items if it's never been used you ball-sack wink? It's "as new" as in "the same as it was when it was new" as in "not used".

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.

Can't see the problem here.
An item is either new or used. Yours is obviously new.

They're a flock of s and a shower of ste combined!

I'm sick of having listings removed for stupid bleeding reasons...seemingly reasons that every other fker gets away with!
