Another EBAY is idiotic thread

[philo98]

As a buyer I have had 3 cards go through the authenticating program and all 3 took between 1-2 months to arrive. As I travel alot, I have stopped buying cards off of Ebay due to the uncertainty on when the card will arrive, plus the requirement that it needs to be signed for when USPS delivers it. Ive resorted for the time being to just buy any cards in person now.

1-2 months? Yikes...the few I've bought this way have added maybe a week to the process, and I found THAT annoying.

I just keep telling myself...."that time between when you buy the card and receive it is a time of such anticipation and excitement...now I get to experience that for twice as long! "

I've had 6 or 7 purchases get authenticated (combination of raw and graded) with no problems and no significant delays. I'm not sure if I've been lucky or others have been unlucky, but 1-2 months seems very unlucky. From the tracking, was the delay in delivery to the authenticator, the authentication itself or delivery from the authenticator? For me, the authentication has never taken more than 2 days.

I think what he is saying is that they sat at the post office for a month or two waiting for him to come in and sign for them.

I think you’re exaggerating.
