PSA Opinion?? New eBay Feature???
1 Attachment(s)
I decided to look at one of my listings because I switched over to eBay's Manage Payments today.
As I was looking at the listing, I saw this link added to my listing. Get a PSA Authenticator's opinion. When did eBay start advertising grading companies on listings without the Seller's approval. It pisses me off. Do any other Sellers have the same link? BTW, here is where the link will take you: https://www.psacard.com/quickopinion/ebay See photo. |
You are using their platform if they choose to do this it’s up to them. Don’t like it sell
Somewhere else. |

It could actually help the seller too.

Nice marketing by PSA. Ebay does what they want and when they want. As Glynn said, their sandbox their rules.
They change like the wind. I Haven't sold there in lots of years but buy on there almost daily. This came from the bay a few years back.... |

In my mind, I see Leon at his desk with a huge stack of unique and fun cards next to him for the sole purpose of adding images of them to threads because "every thread needs a card." And I thank him for that! |
I'm guessing you listed an unauthenticated autograph. PSA has been doing Quick Opinions listed on eBay for maybe two years now.

It's because eBay is putting it there. I'm guessing PSA gives them some kind of kickback for product placement.

I just looked at a few listings. did not see the psa advert on any of the listings.

Odd; seems like they need better software at eBay.

Psa
They'll give you a credit for that $10 fee towards grading, but they don't tell you it'll take 6 months to get it back from grading
|
I went back to look at a few of my listings. I found the link on my raw card listings as well as listings that have a SGC graded card. The listings that had a PSA graded card did not have the link.
Only looked at about 8 listings. I am assuming that if the listing is not a PSA graded card, then the link will appear. |
Also noticed that the link appears in my scorecard & World Series program listings.
Good luck trying to get those graded. |
But as I said, it's not for grading, it's only for autograph quickopinions.

You are correct. I didn't look at the link carefully. Still don't think that eBay should plug PSA on Seller's items without some sort of notification. I am not selling autographs but still have the link on multiple items. Atleast, they should get it right by placing on the correct listings. |
