When listing a part to sell, there should an additional status of "damaged." "New" is obvious, but "Used" covers a whole lot of ground. Relying on comments for the part condition is going to lead to a bad experience for both selling and buying parties, especially when I have to go multiple layers down in the rulebook to find the statement expectation. And it doesn't say that comments are "required," it says that comments "'should' be noted in the item description." Again, opportunity for a bad experience. Is "should" being used as an expectation or requirement?? This could also be resolved with the addition of a "damaged" status. The primary win would be a damaged part labeled as "used" would be clearly in the buyers protection. As a seller, I would argue if I have a damaged part listed as "used," I am not in the wrong for missing a comment as there is no clear requirement. But if I had a "damaged" status, all is clear.
