Wouldn't it be much easier and quicker just to tell the bidder what they want to know, you are being a bit vague in your answers to their questions saying it is used.
You could possibly just tell them how long you have had it, and roughly how many times it has been worn / washed. That what give them an idea of its condition.
I have to say, if you pulled a random item of clothing out of my wardrobe I would be very hard pressed to tell you how long I have had it and how many times its been worn!0 -

i've already said i don't know how long i have had it or how many times it has been worn and washed. hence why i can only answer that it has been used, has been worn a few times and is in good condition and why i stated used - good condition in the listing. i really cannot be any more detailed than that.0 -
What about books! Just looking at some on the shelves in WH Smith's this morning it looks like they have been read and put back on sale, yet dare to sell one like that on marketplace and see your stars disappear.
I bought a lot of books from a major publisher all of which were brand new yet at least10% of them arrived with dints and rubbing which meant I felt I oculdn't list them as new. Still, they were a bargain so I wasn't going to return them as even nearly new I could quadruple my money easily.
i know what you mean, i've also had to list a few books as used when they are new, just due to a couple of marks on the cover :rolleyes:0 -

as per my previous posts i have told her that it has been worn a few times and is in good condition and in reply to her 2nd question i told her that it looks more like a worn item than a new item because it has been worn and isn't new.0 -
the person is on a windup.
I have had a few like this asking if a stuffed rabbit needs feeding and how much it costs etc
Some people have very small minds0
