What This Page Is For
The Condition Notes page helps you save reusable notes that describe the condition of your items. This is useful when you often list similar items and want a faster, more consistent way to apply condition remarks.
How to Create a Condition Note
Step 1: Pick Amazon Category
Field: Pick Amazon Category
This dropdown lets you choose the Amazon category the condition note belongs to.
Why this matters:
Different product categories may need different condition wording. For example, books, electronics, and media items may all require different types of notes.
What to do:
Select the category that best matches the type of item this note will be used for.
Step 2: Create Unique Sub-Category
Field: Create unique sub-category
This field lets you create a custom sub-category within the Amazon category you selected.
Why this matters:
Sub-categories help you organize your condition notes more clearly.
Example:
If your main category is Books, your sub-category could be:
Used – Good
Textbooks
Collectible
Damaged Dust Jacket
What to do:
Enter a sub-category name that helps you group similar notes together.
Step 3: Assign Comment Nickname
Field: Assign comment nickname
This field lets you create a short internal nickname for the condition note.
Why this matters:
The nickname makes it easier to recognize and select the note later.
Example:
“Used-Good”
“Heavy Wear”
“Missing Dust Jacket”
What to do:
Enter a short name that clearly identifies the condition note.
Step 4: Add or Edit Condition Note
Field: ADD or EDIT condition note
This text box is where you type the actual condition note that will be used when listing items.
Why this matters:
This is the text buyers may see, so it should clearly and accurately describe the item’s condition.
Example:
“Used copy with moderate shelf wear and a few pages with highlighting.”
“Cover has some wear. Pages are clean and intact.”
What to do:
Enter the full condition note you want to save.
Step 5: Link Note to Condition Grade (Optional)
Field: Link note to condition grade (optional)
This dropdown lets you connect the note to a specific condition grade.
Why this matters:
Linking a note to a condition grade helps keep your condition notes organized and may make them easier to select while listing.
Example grades:
Like New
Very Good
Good
Acceptable
What to do:
Choose a condition grade if you want this note tied to a specific item condition. You can also leave this blank if not needed.
Step 6: Save the Condition Note
Buttons:
Apply to Favorites
Cancel
Apply to Favorites
Click Apply to Favorites to save the condition note so it becomes available for future use.

Click Cancel if you do not want to save the note.
