From the eBay FAQs about the process:
The PSA authenticator will check the sealed plastic holder for signs of tampering before verifying that the case and label are authentic to the grader. The label is also checked against the listing details. Cards are not regraded.
So they are just checking the slab to try to verify it has not been tampered with and that it is an authentic slab and label.
I think someone else asked about what happens if the card is later resold, then does it have to be authenticated again. Just like with raw cards, it is put into a sleeve with a sticker to show if it has been opened or not. If not ever removed from the sleeve, I would assume it doesn't need to be authenticated again.
From the eBay FAQs again:
The card is placed into a protective sleeve and a QR code linking to authentication details is also provided. It's then placed into a padfolio and delivered directly to you via secure and discreet tracked shipping.
