Default "Item Condition" Now Required on eBay

What is everyone using? New Without Tags? New With Tags? Can't leave it blank anymore, and there isn't an option for a New Handmade item.

I use "New with Tags" but I do put tags on mine.

There are no tags on it, but hey - there's a business card coming with the beads

I like the way you think.

I hope ebay adds some options such as "New Handcrafted"!

I've been using new without tags. I'm really not sure customers even pay attention to that when they're buying beads from someone they know made them themselves.

You're probably right Amy! I used New Without Tags, just 'cause I had to use something.

We should begin to pressure eBay into adding a New Handcrafted option. It will undoubtedly take forever...

Me too "new without tags"
I think most people realise that handcrafted beads don't come with shop kind of tags with pricing or barcodes etc

Agree, I think that would be the best solution!

I use 'new with tags' just to make sure people know the beads are coming from me, not a reseller.

If anyone is interested, this is a great place to get tags for your beads. I think it makes the bead look so nice when sending off to the buyer.

Check them out. And you can make your own designs too.

New with tags, on the same theory that a business card is a tag...

ETA: Full eBay specs for this description:

New with tags: A brand-new, unused, and unworn item (including handmade items) in the original packaging (such as the original box or bag) and/or with the original tags attached.
