Do I Have to Clean Used Boxes Before Selling?

I never expected this question.  Yet, during a recent marketing test in LA enough potential sellers have asked that it has been added to our Seller FAQ.  And several asked in a way that assumed that the answer is ‘yes’.  That before selling their used boxes they would need to carefully peel off tape and labels and do other preparations.

It is always encouraging to be reminded of how conscientious people can be. 

For the record, there is no need to do box cleaning.  I am not sure that it could even be beneficial since peeling off tape and labels will typically do damage to the box.  See how we assure box quality.  Box sellers who are willing to go the extra mile can quality check their boxes and sell them as Inspected or Plain Inspected and get a bit of extra money for their effort.
