I poked around, and my take on it is that USED_GOOD is NOT a valid condition for that category
112529,"Consumer Electronics > Portable Audio & Headphones > Headphones"

I could be wrong, or maybe it used to be valid before the catalog rollout, but from looking here:
https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/sell/inventory/types/slr:ConditionEnum
and here:
https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/item-conditions-category?id=47...

it looks like USED_GOOD might only be valid in DVDs & Movies, Music, Video Games, and Books.

Thanks for the info! On Electronics it simply reccomends "Used" do you know which Enumeration should be used in this case to create a "Used" listing? This is stange as the listings go through no problem via Ebays user interface.

For info about the various eBay APIs, you might ask on the DeveloperZone forums - https://forums.developer.ebay.com/

What dollybeauty said about the developer forums is the best advice. (I'm winging it here)

I believe you are supposed to use just "USED" as the condition and also use a "Condition Description" field to further explain the sub condition of a USED item, although that does not appear as a choice on the Trading API documentation page I linked, and there is mention of a "Condition ID" value to also be used, but I really don't know as I don't use the APIs, am not a developer, and I don't know what API you are using (Trading?)


>>This is stange as the listings go through no problem via Ebays user interface

I'm not sure I understand that. Are you talking about using the advanced listing form web interface to create a listing? Plain "USED" is the only used option in the headphones subcat (along with a condition description). ???

It appears that eBay may want a number for the condition. The value for "Used" is 3000.  The meaning of the numbers can be found here:
