Ebay Authentication is a real head-scratcher

[55koufax]

I spoke of my unfortunate plight above in this thread re the 1980 R Henderson RC in PSA 8.5 I won on eBay, only to have it rejected by the eBay authentication process.

Guess what I received from PSA yesterday: Dear _______,

Another member is attempting to add the following item to their inventory:

Certification Number: 14151601
Grade: 8.5
Description: 1980 TOPPS 482 RICKEY HENDERSON

Incredible, in that after I won and paid 4SC I added it t my registry, forgot all about during the eBay authentication-rejection process. Now I get a removal req from PSA? So someone else somehow OWNS THE EXACT SAME REJSTED CARD in PSA 8.5, just like it NEVER GOT REJECTED. How about that?

Of course the card is fine, of course it was repurchased only TWO weeks after I won it on eBay, which means in like a day or so after REJECTION, it was reauctioned as a BIN for likely quite a bit more than I won it for.

This whole thing SMELLS.

What can I do? The 1/30 listing BIN below was two weeks after my winning it for $150 less than the BIN asking $$$ I am t***s

They also could have had the card reholdered so it has a new slab with the same serial number.
