Example listing
Dyson V8 cordless vacuum
Candid condition reporting rather than glossing over the flaw: the reduced battery life is named in the overview, in the features and in all three marketplace versions.
Before
What the seller typed
That is the entire input. No form to fill in, no dropdowns, no boxes marked "brand" and "condition" - a line of typing and the photographs off the phone.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - Working Well, 2 Tools, Charger Included
74 of 80 characters used. eBay cuts a title off at 80, and the words it does not read are the ones buyers never search on.
Description
A Dyson V8 cordless vacuum that's still doing a great job on carpets and stairs. Suction is strong and it clears debris easily - the only thing to flag honestly is that the battery no longer holds a full charge like new, giving around 20 minutes of run time rather than the original spec, which is normal for a vacuum of this age. Comes with the charger and two attachments ready to use straight away.
- Strong suction, tested on carpet and stairs
- Cordless and lightweight - easy to carry between floors
- Comes with charger and 2 attachments
- Battery holds roughly 20 minutes per charge (down from new)
- No major faults - just normal wear from regular use
