Returns are not accepted - you likely understand the reason for this.
M (mint): Record is new, shiny, never played. A mint condition record is a record that has never been opened. It's still sealed from the factory where it was pressed and distributed.
M-: Once a record has been opened it is no longer absolute mint. A near mint record should be in flawless condition, but it can be acceptable to contain some very slight sign of wear. Because someone in the factory had to slide the record into the sleeve, it could have some very slight sign of wear, but it should be only very slight and have no effect on how the record plays.
EX (excellent): Record is in great shape, may have light marks, played more than a few times, low in surface noise or no surface noise. It might have some light scuffs, scuffing or light scratches. Some slight smudge, slight scratch or defect somewhere on the record, but it plays through all such signs of wear perfectly, and there aren't many of these signs of wear. Aurally, the record might have a light tick or click, or barely noticeable very light bit of surface noise somewhere on the record. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
VG+ (very good plus): Record has been played more times, has more marks and surface noise, but it doesn't skip. A record in this condition should show some obvious signs of wear. Light to moderate scuffs or scuffing. If there is a scratch, it doesn't have much effect on how the record plays. A record in this condition does not play mint, but doesn't make enough noise to interfere much with the enjoyment of the music. There can be a few occasional not too loud clicks and ticks, or some surface noise, but the music still comes through pretty nicely for most or all of the record. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
VG (very good): Record has been played many times, may have more surface noise, but doesn’t skip while playing. A record may be moderately to heavily scuffed but has minimal affect to how the record plays. A "VG" record can have quite a few clicks and ticks, and some surface noise, but still has the music coming through louder than the noise through most or all of the record, and you can honestly say it still plays fairly decently and enjoyably. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
G (good): Record is in bad condition, is worth only for archive items or place holder until you find better copy.
F, Fair: Basically thrashed; if one track is playable it can be called "G". If only parts of it are playable so you can at least play a few seconds on tracks to see what the music might sound like, then it's a "F". Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
P, Poor: Totally unplayable, completely thrashed. Might ruin your turntable needle. Maybe valuable for the center label. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
Gradings of the covers:
An M- cover looks like the day it was purchased with only the most minimal of flaws.
An EX cover is almost mint, but not quite, some sign of wear, but real close to mint.
A VG+ cover is perfectly intact, or maybe have a very slight split seam, shows definite signs of wear, like some ringwear for instance. Ringwear is the visible effect to the cover caused by the record inside. Split seam is the seam of the cover, bottom or top, splitting and coming apart, usually at the center of the seam or at the opening. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
A VG cover is a normally semi-thrashed used cover. Still mostly intact, may have one entire split seam as long as the other seams are still intact. The images on the cover still look fairly nice. Defects are noted in the comments or description of the listing.
