Can be immediate or up to 2 weeks. At least that is my experience with it.

2 weeks!? Wow that would be insane. If they already know the grades it makes no sense for them not to be immediately available. PSA makes no sense sometimes

Got the email for transition to grading Friday. Not sure how long it’ll take now, it’s a big order so I’m hoping for a chill grader…maybe someone who got what they wanted for Xmas.

its because they wont encapsulate your card if you dont agree to upcharge. That way the assembly process can only be done after you agree with the upcharge

Ahhh now that makes sense. The order tracker shows the check mark next to Assembly so hopefully they encapsulated it quickly.

When consigning an order with PSA, why do they charge return shipping for the order when the buyer is paying $5.99 for shipping for each card sold?

Usually, the grades of the whole order are available in the same email via PDF. They should provide you with the grades because how would you and they know what to charge you.

I've had FedEx hold my packages at a nearby location when I've been out of town and unable to sign for my package. Pretty easy process to select HAL (Hold at Location) within the tracking page once it has shipped.

If shipped via USPS, you could go to your local PO and ask for a vacation hold of your mail. You'll then be able to go pick it up when you return from your trip.

Google tells me the max HAL is 7 days or 14 days. So neither of those would work in your instance. Darn. Sorry about that! I've never had to utilize a hold for that long.

Last time I did Hold at location it was for 7 days. They did not let me do a longer (vacation) hold and sent the package back to PSA.

Vacation hold is 14 days. They might need to request a vacation hold and then a hold at location.

What happened when they sent the package back to PSA?

Is there a way to edit the titles of listing when you consign your order through PSA? None of my auto cards say “auto” in the title.

I am clicking on “edit item details” but it won’t let me edit the title.

You should reach out to them via ebay messenger. It's not your listing so you can't edit it.
