Condition [condition]

Note: Refurbished and Used products are not currently displayed on YouTube.

Use the condition [condition] attribute to tell potential customers about the condition of the product you're selling. It’s important to set this value correctly since it is used to refine search results.

When to use

• Optional for each new product
• Required for each used and refurbished product

These are the supported values for this attribute:

• New [new]. Your product is new and has never been used. It's in its original packaging, which has not been opened.
• Refurbished [refurbished]. While your product isn’t new, it has been professionally restored to working order so that it appears new, and it comes with a warranty. The product might or might not be in its original packaging. This is sometimes referred to as "remanufactured".
• Used [used]. Your product is second-hand. For example, the product has been used before, the original packaging has been opened, or the original packaging is missing.

Note these values must be submitted in English

Guidelines

• If you sell products of third party manufacturers that are compatible with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products, review the additional guidelines for compatible or refurbished third party products.

Minimum requirements

These are the requirements you'll need to meet to show your product. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in the Diagnostics page in your Merchant Center account.

• Comply with local laws and regulations when submitting refurbished products. Your target country may have certain laws that relate to refurbished products, so before selling a refurbished product, make sure it complies with the local laws and regulations and with the relevant Shopping policies and requirements.
• Submit the correct unique product identifiers for your product. What information you should submit can vary based on your product’s condition. Learn more about submitting product identifiers

Additional guidelines

Review each section closely to determine if the requirements apply to your country or product. If you don't follow requirements that apply to you, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in Diagnostics in your Merchant Center account.

Printer cartridges

The condition you submit depends on whether the printer cartridge you’re selling is used, refurbished, refilled, or new. Learn more about requirements for printer cartridges

Best practices
