Fair means a fault the seller has named, and it prices pet supplies at about 45% of the top grade: $6 to $109 across this category (about £4 to £81). A named fault: chewed edges, a broken clip or buckle, a bent bar on a cage, or staining that did not wash out.
Where the line falls
Pet equipment is judged on hygiene before wear: an item is bought on whether it can be cleaned properly, and chew damage decides the rest.
For comparison, one grade up is Good Pet Supplies and one step down is For Parts Pet Supplies.

Listing at the Fair grade
Photograph the chewed or broken part. Chew damage matters more on some animals than others and the buyer will make that call.
Shots that carry the most weight in pet supplies:
- Bird Cage — A ruler across the bars showing spacing
- Cat Tree — The sisal posts close up, showing how much wrap is left
- Dog Bed — The cover unzipped, showing the inner
- Dog Crate — A tape measure showing the internal length or height
