Condition: New Like New

Using the "sell item" script in the marketplace provides a bunch of pull-downs and radio buttons to set values. And it mostly works well.

But I've noticed that myself and many other people fail to notice that there is a radio button positioned *after* the condition drop-down. So you can specify that an item "Like New New", or "Damaged New" or whatever.

My problem is that on my last sale I missed the "Used" button following the condition drop-down so it defaulted to "New", and though my item description clearly indicated the lens was new the condition field said that it was "Excellent New".

To make matters worse, I warranted the lens as returnable for not meeting the condition specified. And though the specified condition is clearly used, that darn field is just sitting there with its tongue out.

I think that "New" shouldn't be a separate selection, but instead built-in to the drop-down. Or if you've got to have it, then please put it on a different line, and keep people from selecting both "New" and a condition that does not agree with "New".

Sure- I think that putting it in the dropdown would make more sense.

This has now been implemented, and 'new' has been added as an item condition in itself.

Thanks Adam.

I'd give you rep, but the system says I can't.
Seems I need to spread it around some more, first.
