Nope, didn't know about it.

Isn't that subjective? And to eBay standards? Now you're reaching...what standards? 🙄

As someone who sells used suit jackets, It would be impossible for me as an individual seller to get the hundreds of suits I have dry cleaned properly, it would cost a small fortune. I have always sold my suits as is, and list if anything on it looks stained. If someone feels the need to dry clean the suit before wear, which I reccomend as I dont know its history, they can do it, but for me, its just not economically feasable to do so with all of my suits.

Goodwill stores don't clean anything you can see items with food and other debris on them. They not putting up signs declaring items properly cleaned now are they?? Yard sales and other places like peddlers mall don't either. eBay is just covering their own butts. You get a ton of add more item specific notice, like what's the character for a pair of shorts. Come on just more work for a $4 item that takes an hour to photograph then list everything under the sun time it's all done you're working for NOTHING because time sourcing, washing at the laundry mat, photograph, listing and waiting for something to sell, sending offers. You're spent hours on a $4 item they will add fees to, make you wait to get paid and then hopefully a fickled buyer doesn't use your item on vacation then decide to return it once they used and abused it and now wants a refund. eBay is a losing game.

@NJ-Jack Ай бұрын

In reading the policy, I see that the statement must only say that the item has been properly cleaned. Ebay doesn't define what constitutes "properly cleaned"...not even a reference to manufacturers recommendations. So, my statement is going to say, "Used clothing has been properly cleaned."

@erindixon2877 Ай бұрын

I’ve never had a statement concerning cleaning. I used to wash everything but stopped when our area became drought ridden about 12 years ago. If an item has a stain or weird smell, it gets cleaned, but otherwise, the item gets steamed only. I don’t buy items that are nasty either and they are usually clean when I get them(folks in small towns generally bring clean items to the thrift store because everyone knows everyone and they don’t want the gossip headache).

This is a pre-owned item with normal wear."

This is what i put in my listings----This shirt has not been washed and was in a storage locker for about 15 years. There might be a musty smell. We have aired the shirt out. We did not wash it because one, we didn't want to ruin any pictures or fade any colors and two, the laundry soap we use might cause an allergic reaction for some people so we thought it would be best to leave it to the buyer to wash it and air it out. We have checked all the elastic in this shirt.

But I wasn’t aware of rules that you had to have it in your listings that you clean them per eBay policy

Thank you so much for the info and tip on how to bulk edit. Here's another tip to sellers to avoid complaints: After washing, do not hang clothes up in an area where the clothes can absorb smoke from cooking or other substances. Do not hang clothes up near litter boxes. Also make sure clothes are 100% dry before packing into plastic bag or they can mold. No brainers, but even something clean can get smells after they're washed. 😮

@ellenm1937 Ай бұрын

A lot of people have a steamer (You can often find floor models at thrift stores) because it definitely makes the clothes look nicer than if they are photographed with wrinkles. Wrinkles can often be confused with stains depending on the lighting. I think you have to do a +/- minus balance between your time to wash and press and added value you would get. You may also have to have balance in returns for odor. Might depend on what the photos of your comps look like. You may prefer to source only non-wrinkle sportswear type items which is my favorite category. Many fabrics like knits, jeans, flannel and fleece can just be smoothed out. But if I have a higher end shirt like Johnny Was, Filson, Brioni or Robert Graham, you bet I'm going to steam it.

@rpierce7004 Ай бұрын

I have always added my own cleaning statement in the condition area. Depending on the item, here are some of the descriptions I use; : "Item has been laundered as per platform standards." "Item has been recently dry cleaned"...... "Item has been hand washed and dried flat/ hung and air dried as cleaning tag instructions." ..... " Item has been laundered with Dryell dry cleaning home system" "Item has been cleaned and pre-treated for staining. Some staining has remained" For new with tags that are still in plastic bags, I do nothing, but if they have tags but not in plastic, I clip the tag to the fabric and air dry (no heat) to remove any dust. I use a plastic laundry clip and attach to the tag, so it doesn't get beat up from flopping around in the dryer which can bend the tag. Way more time, way less worry when I send an item out. If I use the more standard wording instead of being so specific, then this will be a time saver for me for sure.

Never ever heard of this policy to include this statement in the Ebay listings; don't even see any email about it from Ebay. How should we have known this if we didn't happen to be a subscriber on your channel? Many people will have issues like us here. But, any clothes, except the new with tag clothes, we always wash them before listing but just did not put a statement to this fact in our listings. Though we did get a comment one time, a year ago, from a buyer she did not like the fresh wash smell. Threw us for a loop. Though it was just her, we since just wash the clothes with the eco friendly detergent that has no smell at all.

I was trying to update & relist a pair of capri pants about a month ago probably & when I went to hit list it gave me an error about underwear not being allowed, which was SO WEIRD bc It was pants! I called EB for help bc it kept doing it & wouldn't let me list this item that had already been listed previously. I also already had "cleaned per EB standards" in the listing so that wasn't the issue. They put in a help ticket to IT to look into it & said they'd let me know when it was resolved. To this day still no response to the error. Yesterday I decided to try it again got same error, so I did process of elimination starting by removing the brand to see if that was why & then removing the word "pants" just leaving as capri it then let me list them. So this new flagging system they have definitely is glitchy on picking up words they think are panties. 🤦‍♀

Maybe taking screenshots of their policy and see if it starts changing over time would be a good way to make sure edits aren’t being made without us being aware.

And if they're doing it?? What would be our recourse?

Hi I just checked the 2 items you show in the vid & I don't see your the new info updated in the Polo description. Today is 6/22 1PM. The Roca is there but WAY down at the bottom after a bunch of white space. I checked because I remembered from LONG ago that I could never get my bulk description updates to show on my items so I was checking to see if that was still an issue. Thanks for this info though. I've updated all mine

Yeah I noticed. So clearly bulk edit description is glitching. I just re did it. And I’ll refresh in a bit.

@@RockstarFlipper I tried to use that feature years ago and multiple times afterward. I could never get it to work right so I just don't try anymore. Of course, I don't have 1000s of used clothing items like you do, so not as big a deal for m. Happy selling!

Reading the policy on the Australian ebay site, it was updated December 18 2023.

I not sure what is happening but for used clothing your ebay store says you only have 184 used clothing and i do not see any of this clothing you selling even say it has been wash

@barbarabeard6017 Ай бұрын

Your first bulk edit example did not include the word USED. This policy does not apply to NWT or items you can telll have never been worn. This is good reason to. Sell elsewhere. It can take an incredible amount of time to process several items, wash so no shrinkage, dry, press, fold. And all this when the item looks almost brand new (NWOT) or u wouldn't have purchased it. Also, Remember the power of the sun v toxic detergents.

Going to put "All used clothing/fabric items have been cleaned per this reselling platforms standards." after where I say pre-owned in ___ condition and see how it goes because I cross list and dont want to be editing every platform.

Also you must bleach the skid marks out of any used drawers you sell

@sweetgirl4u247 Ай бұрын

I always write 2 different statements... "Item has been washed according to directions." And if it was dry cleaned (expensive items ofc) "Item has been professionally dry cleaned."

@helpfulcommenter Ай бұрын

You pay to get all your dry clean only items dry cleaned? Really?

@sweetgirl4u247 Ай бұрын

@@helpfulcommenter no, only really expensive items. Normal items, I just wash them.

That's strange, But, I recently purchased some shirts for my son and they smelled like someone wore them and didn't wash them afterwards. I of course washed them immediately. But, why would you send them out smelling like that.
