Numeric condition IDs are used consistently for similar item conditions across all marketplaces and categories. For example, 1000 is the numeric ID that is always used for brand new items in their original retail packaging (or equivalent).

Condition display names and the subset of supported conditions can vary in different categories. Refer to Item condition by category for additional information.

The following table provides information about each item condition:

Note: Condition ID values are returned by the getItemConditionPolicies call of the Metadata API. However, the createOrReplaceInventoryItem call of the Inventory API uses text-based enumeration values. The corresponding ConditionEnum values are included for each numeric Condition ID value.
