I can understand a claim coming through months after the purchase due to credit card company agreements with their customers but what I don't get is how Paypal is always unsuccessful in challenging a Significantly Not As Described claim when it comes to PSA or SGC graded cards. Both PSA and SGC have written guarantees on their websites. In this example, as long as the seller shipped a T206 Cobb PSA 5 in an non tampered holder, provided a picture of it and was not deceptive in anyway in his listing, how can Paypal not make an argument to force the buyer to deal directly with the grading company? I am not implying that PSA is always right and every card they have graded has been spot on but if there is truly dissatisfaction with a grade take it up with the company who graded it.
Dan here is PSA's written guarantee. Did your friend attempt to provide this guarantee to Paypal for their argument to the buyer's credit card co?

Also as long as online tracking is associated with shipments it does not matter what is really inside of the package. That is true for sellers and buyers returning a product. This part of Paypal and ebay's policy is mnore about form over substance.
