Default eBay Randy Johnson Marlboro error fun

Run into a new one recently. Had a very rare 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson Marlboro Blue Stencil version get hit by the authenticity program. They sent me a message saying they could not verify authenticity. At first they gave me a few different very vague reasons. Finally they confirmed it was because I called it what it is called(Blue Stencil) in the hobby instead of how PSA describes the versions. So they couldn't confirm it was a Blue Stencil version.

So if selling any rare error versions make sure to add in the description what PSA calls that version to not have the headaches. This is what eBay told me to do if I relist it.

I sent it is a small flat rate box in a one touch and the card was returned to me in a penny sleeve in a card saver mailed in a bubble mailer. Was super happy the card was not damaged on the return shipment that took 2 weeks.

Now the even weirder part. The winning bidder is someone I know so we decided to complete the deal off eBay. He saved taxes and I saved sellers fees. A win win for both of us. Then after I get back from vacation and the card is back the buyer has ghosted me.
