Hi...this is Adam Nash from the eBay Express Team. As Bill Cobb mentioned in January, eBay Express will be a new shopping experience designed to meet the needs of today's busiest shoppers, and we're extremely excited about the enthusiasm its upcoming launch has generated.
Many of the categories on eBay.com will be available on eBay Express at launch, but not all of them. We've also stated in earlier messages that Item Condition will be a listing requirement for your item to appear on eBay Express. This is true for many, but not all, categories that will appear. I want to clarify these points below:
- There are categories where standard Item Condition values like New, Used or Refurbished are not applicable since the condition of the item can vary significantly. An example is a category such as Roman Antiquities. In these cases, Item Condition will not be introduced into these categories prior to the launch of eBay Express, and these categories will not be included in eBay Express at launch.
- There are also categories where Item Condition is not relevant for a product. Here an example would be a category such as Tickets. In these cases, Item Condition will not be introduced in these categories but these items will be included within eBay Express at launch.
To provide more information about which categories will and will not be included in eBay Express at launch, we've put together two different lists:
Click here to see which categories will not included at launch.
Click here to see categories that will be included at launch.
As you'll notice, the Collectibles categories make up a large share of these categories. We have started a thread on the Collectibles discussion board to provide further information about which categories in Collectibles will and will not be included in eBay Express at launch, and whether Item Condition will be available.
Sincerely,
Adam Nash
eBay Express
