The absurdity of ebay's authenticity guarantee - Page 29

I bought a card through AG that arrived at the authenticator on 1/26. Never seen one take close to this long. Anyone else running into this?

Just saw a post on FB where someone sent in a card that was encased by the card company….the “authenticity expert” opened the case and proceeded to damage the card.

To prospective buyers of company encased cards qualifying for eBay AG, may want to message the seller and explain the situation and see if they’ll list it to bypass eBay AG (easy fix just add an exempt term to item title). Some sellers will balk at that because eBay AG helps protect them, but some might make the adjustment to make a sale. (For BIN listing at least…can’t really for auctions).
