The idea in everyday life
Fictional T1 has a 2-centimeter ink mark inside, intact straps and dimensions 35 × 40 centimeters. Packed mass is 0.6 kilograms; packed dimensions 38 × 28 × 6 centimeters. The $6 shipping figure is a practice estimate only. Do not publish a listing.

1. Describe condition
Include the internal mark and intact straps without claiming “like new.”
You should see: The condition description discloses the observed flaw.
An accurate description helps buyer expectations match reality.
2. Plan images
List front, back, label, interior mark and strap detail.
You should see: Five planned evidence views; no photo purchase needed.
A shot list can document condition before packing.
3. Record packed inputs
Write mass and all three packed dimensions.
You should see: 0.6 kg; 38 × 28 × 6 cm.
Postage depends on package details and destination/service.
4. Draft listing
State used condition, dimensions, included contents and a verify-postage note.
You should see: A truthful unpublished listing and packing brief.
Avoid promising a rate before checking the actual shipment.
What to finish
An unpublished condition listing and package-measurement brief.
Watch for this
Quoting postage using the unpacked item dimensions alone.
