How do I describe a used table with a visible mark?

Describe a used table with the supplied dimensions, included parts and visible condition. A specific mark is easier for a buyer to understand than “good condition” alone. Do not claim a repair, material or original price unless you can support it.

This original fictional example is a local-collection item listing. The $80 price, measurements and circumstances are invented, not a valuation or an actual item for sale.

The supplied facts

The seller reports one dining table, 120 cm long, 75 cm wide and 74 cm high. There is a light circular mark on one corner of the top. The asking price is $80 for the table only; chairs are not included. Collection is from a ground-floor entrance at an agreed time. Material, manufacturer and original purchase date are not supplied.

In the grader, the seller chooses whether each criterion is recorded and enters the supporting facts. The tool assembles that wording into a draft; it does not assess its clarity, confirm the measurements or inspect the mark. The finished example below is an authored demonstration. The seller still needs to compare their own draft with the item.

The finished listing

Dining table, 120 × 75 cm — $80

One used dining table, 120 cm long × 75 cm wide × 74 cm high, measured by the seller. A light circular mark is visible on one corner of the top. Material and manufacturer have not been confirmed.

Asking $80 for the table only. Chairs and other items in the background are not included.

Ground-floor collection at an agreed time. Please confirm your collection arrangement before travelling.

Before publishing, add an actual close-up of the mark and clear views of the whole table. This text demonstration includes no item photographs. Do not promise a buyer that a photograph is attached until it is actually available. A completed text field does not create an image.

Review the buyer's practical questions

The dimensions now include height as well as the tabletop size. The price has a currency and an explicit scope: the table only. The condition statement describes the visible mark without asserting that every unseen surface is undamaged. The collection line states only what the seller supplied; it makes no promise about dismantling or loading help.

eBay's item-description policy provides a platform example of the need for accurate, consistent condition information. Check the rules of the marketplace you actually use before publishing.

Review your own item listing. Enter your own wording, choose each criterion's status and correct the assembled draft against the item and the actual photos.
