Thoroughness can be a double edged sword, as a lot of buyers will not read a description if it's "too long". Which means you may still end up with an angry buyer. The safest option is to keep descriptions as short as possible while still describing all flaws.For example:Hair: Tail has been cut. Silky, no frizz.Eyes: Rub on left eye.Body: Small permanent marks. Children's initials on hooves.Other: No weird smells. Rattles when shaken.^ When paired with clear pictures (at minimum, pictures from both sides of the pony and preferably one of their hooves and one front the front), that is all you need. If you sell on eBay, use the Fixed Price auctions. Do not use the auction style format unless you are okay with your items selling for under value.
And finally, as FantasticFirefly said - no jargon. I hate when people list flaws in pony jargon. Describe what you see and what you think the flaw is caused by (hair cut, frizz, mark possibly ink, maybe discolouration, etc). I've been in the community 20 years and I still have no idea what some of the restorer jargon terms mean, because I don't use them. Plainspeak is good. Jargon is bad.
