cmokingI had a BGS card I was auctioning, and I did the same as you...something along the lines of : BGS 9.5 (not PSA 10). Obviously I was trying to get more eyeballs on my auction by putting in PSA 10 in the item...I admit it.
PSA has the right to cancel auctions through ebay at their will. They are not the only ones, there's a whole slew of companies that have that right. Along with the email I received was a link to that list.
I'm sure what happens is that someone at PSA once in a while randomly searches for PSA to see if GAI, SGC or BGS cards are the true auctioned items. If it is, then they simply cancel it. When they do this, I bet they cancel 100+ auctions in one stretch. If I were them and that's what happens, I wouldn't bother with emailing each and every single one - why not? Because then I'd have to spend a similar amount of time in a day or so to check if the auctioneers actually canceled or changed their item descriptions. If I were ebay/PSA, I would just cancel the auctions.
Was I pissed when they canceled my auction? YES!
After thinkin about it, do I agree with what they did? YES!
