In the "item condition" area that is directly below the title description on the front page of a listing I only have used or mint.

I wonder if I can get a bit more creative and add info that will not fit into the title description. Like: Refer to the description area for more info etc?

I write all my condition information as part of the description. I find it a pointless space taker. Same with "item specifics".

I will write stuff like VF MNH or Used VF etc... if I have a stamp that requires additional info such as faults, I will add something like "Faults, please read description". Adding extra text to try and add additional information that doesn't fit in the title doesn't really help because you don't see it in the aggregate search results listing in my opinion.

Hi KGV how is things going these days? I wish more sellers would put more detail in the item condition. I see many that don't write anything there and often get a cover with a stamp on it to find the stamp was faulty which was not also clearly shown in the pic. "Item condition" you can put anything there I have seen some sellers continuing the description in that part. Others say refer to description for condition. Most of mine just say good. D

I only use the words used or mint in the condition area.

The image on ebay is what I think the buyer should be looking at and making their own decision about the grade.

In the title description I have been calling a stamp has "round corner" or "damage on back" of stamp but only if it is a stamp that is expensive other wise I will not list it.

I have grouped together a bunch of very minor faults of international post Australia on a stock card and described them in the title description. Maybe some descriptions need to be in the title and some others need to be in the condition area.
