I'm less worried that eBay will grade cards, and more worried that they will start charging for this authentication service (probably sellers). I thought I saw something near the start of this whole rodeo that said that the service was "currently free." Emphasis on...currently.

That’s definitely something people have always thought might be coming. But maybe the amount they spend on Authenticity Guarantee services is less than what they were paying out for fraud that’s now being prevented and it’s already a financial positive for them…who knows.

It would be great if it stuck to what it was there for. However seems like they overstep their reach, such as rejecting authentic cards for a scratch on slab etc etc. Almost like they have a quota to reject a certain percentage

Ebay is well aware the counterfeiting is a major risk to their business model. They have been authenticating sneakers and handbags for some time, and have discussed moving into other areas. Has nothing to do with them wanting to move into the grading business.

eBay has no desire to over-reject cards. These sorts of issues are certainly the exception, and they will get worked out. They definitely do not have a quota to meet. They're simply trying to protect buyers against counterfeit cards and cards that have been clearly and intentionally misrepresented by the sellers.

Also, zero chance that eBay starts grading cards.
