Ebay recently started holding "authentication" funds....

[Snowman]

I've had some where they just paid me out right away, and others where they withheld the funds until it passed authentication. I thought it was a monetary threshold thing, but then I sold another card for several thousand dollars and they paid me right away on that one. So I'm not sure what the logic is behind when they hold it back. But in my experience, they've been inconsistent. Although most of the time I do get paid right away.

The only thing I can think of Travis, is this is the first time I had a card going to the Ebay vault. It's not a high dollar card. A 1948 Leaf Honus Wagner SGC 1. But it IS going to the Ebay vault.
