Hi, with regard to :
Also starting October 15, 2018, we will begin automatically updating existing listings in the Business & Industrial category with a "New other" label to a "Like new" label and definition. A "Like new" label will apply to items that are in excellent condition with no functional defects. The item may have been used for testing or demo purposes, and may be missing the original packaging. It may include warranty and accessories found with the original product.
I sell electronic components like resistors and capacitors. The parts are 'new from old stock'. Currently on my listings the item condition is showing as 'New-Other' with my comment that the parts are new from old stock, and I include any other pertinent item condition descriptions.
When E-Bay performs the automatic updating of my item condition from New-other to Like New, how does that affect the information that is currently showing in the 'New-Other' item condition field? Will all the details be lost? Or will they carry over?
How will I be able to show that the item is New but of old stock? The 'Like new' condition which includes 'may be used' is not appropriate for new old stock items'.

Good question! It all depends on the packaging really. If your items are still in the original manufacturer's packaging, they would qualify as New, even if they are old stock. You would not need to list them as New Other. The exact qualifications are here.
Otherwise, if it has been removed from the packaging, I believe you would indeed use Open Box. Open Box doesn't preclude the item from being unused, it just means that the packaging isn't sealed and you can add more details in the listing description.
Like New will only apply to items in B&I, so if you're listing in Electronics you wouldn't be updated to that one.
Does that make sense or have I made it clear as mud?
