### What does a parts-condition label clarify?

The FTC separates new, remanufactured and salvage parts. A listing can state the actual condition and included components, while any fit or warranty terms require the seller’s own evidence.

### Why show labor separately from a component?

The FTC says a repair estimate identifies parts and anticipated labor charges. An ad can direct buyers to an itemized quote rather than suggest a component price equals a completed repair.
