Policy update on Amazon regarding Collectible condition guidelines

This week, Amazon updated their Condition Guidelines to clarify what goods can be described as Collectible, in order to prevent sellers from choosing the incorrect option.

According to the updated policy, products listed as Collectibles must provide added value. For example, they must feature an autograph or be an out-of-print edition. Sellers need to provide a detailed description of the collectible aspects of the item to justify listing an item in this category.
