I actually decided not to sell it to him at one point as I suspected something was coming down the road.
I shipped it to PSA. . . .it was authenticated and shipped on to him . . . and then the fun started. I got an eBay email that it was delivered to his home and this time and day and the deal was concluded. He immediately starts firing off eBay messages to me that it was delivered to his business. . . . can't find anyone signed for it . . . and pleading with me to do everything I could in my power to find the card. Also some family related personal stuff that is neither here nor there. Fed ex shows a delivery to his house that he signed for. More messages, I ignore them. Next day I get a short email from ebay saying a lost package claim has been put in by Buyer and then since I shipped properly to the authenticator "we have it from here. Nothing you need to do. We will resolve it." I knew that was how it works, but I was relieved to get that email minutes after he put his claim in. I have enough to do without handling a situation like that.
Ebay sent me one follow up message saying the lost shipment claim was closed, as they confirmed delivery and signature at his home.

I had almost the same experience shortly after they started the Authenticity thing. For me it was a pretty big Black Hills gold ring. They only asked one question before hitting the BIN. Just asked the exact weight of the ring. Seemed normal to me. Them as soon as USPS had the box I got bombarded with questions. Within minutes of it arriving after going to the authenticator and being delivered to the buyer I had a case filed against me. Luckily eBay also messaged me and told me not to worry and they would take care of everything. I don't remember eBay ever sending me anything else about it but I kept my money and someone ended up with a ring.
