All's well that ends well. This was the first of 3 completely legitimate items that the so-called "experts" who handle the eBay Authentication failed to authenticate - all for supposedly being mis-categorized. What an absolute joke of a service. All it does is cause a delay in me getting my items. It should either be optional or done away with. I can't remember one change that eBay's made over the years that made that was for the better. Ok, rant over. Happy holidays, fellas.
