Thanks for looking!!
U.S. only.
I have sold many hundreds of used vinyl records on and off over the years here on eBay without receiving one neutral or negative rating. I grade conservatively under strong LED lighting.
VISUAL GRADING CRITERIA:

MINT (M)
These are absolutely perfect in every way. 

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
Almost mint but for maybe a couple/few scuffs and/or very thin, faint, hairline scratches, the likes of which might happen from sliding disc in/out. None of which should affect play. Shiny vinyl.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++) or EXCELLENT (E)

Except for a couple extra minor things, would be near mint. For me, EX is just a touch above VG++ (while VG++ is above VG+).

Very Good + (VG+)
There will be more scuffs and hairline scratches or even larger scratches, but usually should not be able to be felt with the fingernail. For the most part these blemishes should not affect play or detract from the music, though upon playback there might (or might not) be some background noise. This is where the majority of the bargains out there can be found. Upon visual inspection, must look as if it will playback fine, with not much noise distraction, and though there is a good chance will not play like an EX/NM or above record might, some certainly do. Most vinyl lovers will be happy with a VG+ visual grading.

Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG?)
Significant wear is visible but that doesn't always mean it will be a mess upon playback. There should still not be any bad scratches that can be obviously felt with the fingernall. Nothing that, upon visual inspection, might make one think there will be any skips, and especially nothing that looks like it could damage a stylus.

POOR (P)
and Fair (F)
Usually these look too damaged to bother selling. I have never sold one of these upon visual inspection only, but I have sold just a handful that playtested P or F, because there were multiple skips at a minimum. But those handful did not look so bad that I thought it could damage my stylus, etc.  In other words, if I were to ever sell a poor or fair record going by visual inspection only, I would make very sure to fully describe what I am seeing and that it could damage the stylus even, etc.  I would only bother if it were a super rare record, and had a visual grade this low.
