More ebay Authentic fun... scratching my head

I’m still dealing with them about it right now. If it doesn’t pop up I’ll post pictures of the card so when it does in an auction house down the road it will be reported stolen.

So you bought it cheap, but not so cheap that it didn't have to go through authentication. You got your money back or not? I noticed you didn't answer the question.

If you're pissed you didn't make a killing on buying something cheap, that's one thing - but it would be different than eBay not making you whole if you didn't actually get what you paid for. :

It’s still “on going” but at this point it appears to have disappeared after the authentication process. USPS didn’t lose it, they never got it from the authenticators in the New Jersey office. After a week or so I’ll have to open a not received case to get a refund. I’m still hoping it pops up and maybe I’m overreacting. Will see ;/

eBay is now authenticating cards using PSA New Jersey office? Every card I’ve had authenticated regardless where sellers were located, went through the PSA Santa Ana office. Same Cali PSA office also handled the cards I’ve sold on eBay.

Sucks, but that’s all you can do. They should have no problems at least making you whole.

The ebay authentication team rejected the card because they said the case was damaged.

ebay never followed through with providing pictures of the "issues" with the slab. I guess they just gave up and it was easier for them to reject the authentication of the card than send me the pictures they said would be sent to me.

This kind of sucks because I really liked the card. I'll wait to see if it comes up for sale again and I'll wash, rinse, and repeat.

Just curious, who eats the shipping cost to the authenticator and then the return shipping cost to the seller?

frigging fleabay and their "authentication" process.

Got the card thank goodness. Because it was mis-authenticated it took longer to get.

It was listed in the wrong category and I feared it was returned or misplaced.

I just had my first card rejected. In the notes it says The card received does not match the listing details - set. I looked and I had everything listed correctly, even in the details part you have to click on to see.

I actually hope my email gets to the buyer before he takes the option of accepting the card from eBay. I know him and it would be great if I could just sell it directly to him instead of him winning the auction on eBay. We could both save some cash.

I love it.

I recently sold an expensive card. Over 10K. The buyer was concerning from day 1. Too many messages. . . . too many questions . . . . "biggest purchase I have ever made" . . . . how fast can you get it to me . . . . Could get the money together. . . .then not sure. Just a lot of chatter. 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.
