For cards in the three collectable card categories, 183050, 183454, and 261328, use numeric IDs to represent the professional grader (company) and the grade value, and optionally use an open text field for the Certification Number. For ungraded items, use numeric IDs to represent the condition.

Condition Descriptors are used in the Product feed and the Combined feed.

Note: Beginning October 23, 2023, Condition Descriptors will be required to list a new SKU in a Product feed file. If not provided after this date, the listing for that SKU will fail.

By January 22, 2024, all existing listings must be modified to include Condition Descriptors. This adds the requirement that when listings are revised or relisted, they must include Condition Descriptors or the SKU will fail.

The following table contains condition descriptor IDs for different conditions/condition IDs. See the Category support column for applicable condition descriptor IDs (values) for each category.
