Overview

When participating in the Resold or Walmart Collectibles program, you're required to specify your item’s condition and adhere to the item requirements. This guide features a detailed table outlining various product categories, along with their accepted conditions and specific selling requirements.  

Notes:

Participation in the Resold and the Walmart Collectibles program is by invitation-only and not available to all Marketplace sellers. 

How does it work?

An item’s condition describes its level of wear, prior use (if any), appearance and overall quality. Condition types are attributes used to classify and describe the condition of an item being sold on Walmart Marketplace. Adding this information helps customers better understand the current condition of the item they’re buying. 

The following condition types are all associated with invite-only programs except for the New condition type. The following descriptions are being provided for reference and may not be available for all item types within the category. 

Notes:

Availability of condition types may vary by product, category or program. 

Electronics, wireless, cameras, etc.
