Apparently eBay sometimes decides in its discretion to just reject the item and complete the transaction anyway, without asking the buyer if he/she still wants it.

It makes some sense that if they decide something should not have been sent for authentication that it would then just be sent to the buyer. That's different than if something is rejected for some reason even if the reason is they aren't familiar enough with it to authenticate.
