If by buyer you mean AJ, he was apparently notified with proof just over 30 days after his purchase was made.

Not unreasonable at all to NEVER question it until being made aware of the possibility by yet others of greater hobby experience.
You could have the card for 20 years sitting in your safe and not give another thought to it's authentic grade, then upon taking it out find reason to question the possibility of alteration.
And subsequently need to seek recompense.
No?

Yes many of us rely, but maybe not blindly, on a TPG assessment however if someone provides evidence which supports a card in question might be altered and should not have graded, addressing it timely is imperative. Aug 2020 was ions ago in this fast moving market. If pressed I feel pretty confident that eBay would have approved of a return at the price paid at which time the seller could have gone to PSA for a buy back. I am even more confident that PSA would have liked for the opportunity to buy back the card in Aug 2020 rather than someone waiting until March 2021 to make an inquiry.
