What happened?
Walmart Marketplace launched Item Spec 5.0 on October 15, with version 5.0.20260829-12_49_39-api, applicable to Feed types including MP_ITEM, MP_MAINTENANCE, MP_WFS_ITEM, and OMNI_WFS. The update adds the optional conditionNotes attribute for eligible non-new Resold products, including Pre-Owned and Restored items. Sellers can use product data to describe the physical, cosmetic, functional, packaging, and accessory conditions, helping buyers understand the actual state of used or refurbished products. The update does not change Walmart’s existing product condition definitions or add new Condition enum values. The changes affect Listing quality for used electronics, refurbished phones, computers, appliances, auto parts, and returned products offered for resale. The source also states that sellers can standardize information such as scratches, missing parts, battery health, damaged packaging, and repair records, and update related SFF, WFS, and Omni Feeds to reduce returns and disputes caused by inconsistent descriptions.
