On the site I’ll be using the eBay grading on DVDs:
Movies & TV, Music, Video Games
- Brand new: The item was never opened or removed from the manufacturer’s sealing (if applicable). The item is in original shrink wrap (if applicable). See the seller’s listing for full details
- Like new: The item looks as if it were just taken out of shrink wrap. It has no visible wear, and all facets of the item are flawless and intact. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
- Very good: The item is used but still in very good condition. There is no damage to the jewel case or item cover: no scuffs, scratches cracks, or holes. The cover art and liner notes are included. The VHS or DVD box is included. The video game instructions and box are included. The teeth of the disk holder are undamaged. There is minimal wear on the exterior of the item. The CD/DVD doesn’t skip. There are no fuzzy/snowy frames on the VHS tape. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
- Good: The item is used but in good condition. It may have minor damage to the jewel case, including scuffs or cracks, or to the item cover, including scuffs, scratches, or cracks. The cover art and liner notes are included for a CD. The VHS or DVD box is included. Video game instructions are included. The CD/DVD doesn’t skip. There are no fuzzy/snowy frames on the VHS tape. See the seller’s listing for full details and a description of any imperfections
I must admit they’re pretty strict and not much room for ambiguity. I’ll probably be listing more things in “good” condition that may deserve a higher rating. (Yeah right, even I rolled my eyes out of habit reading that… but it’s true – I have a huge inventory and don’t need the headache of disagreements over subtle scuffs on generic cases)
I’m currently having to learn how to set up a couple of things. As you can see the DVDs are synced but the pages need some work and not all the information about specific DVDs is showing up yet.
