as of 4-20-2022- RE: E BAY
The required authentication threshold now is $250, any raw card that sells over $250 , even if the buyer won 4 other cards under $250 and one over $250, and wants all 5 in combined shipping, there is no more combined shipping on that level. The card must be shipped alone to CSG even if the buyer is in your state, it goes to Florida and at an additional shipping fee to the buyer that the seller is responsible for that fee if CSG does not agree on grade specifics, not just authenticity as the program was introduced to do.

If the buyer wants to opt out or lives in same state, it does not matter, e bay wants you to bypass customer wishes, and its unfair and ridiculous even if the card is blatantly not a reprint or fake. If an item does not pass inspection, and card is original and stated as numerically gradeable but they do not agree about the stated grade opinion, due to a wax stain, centering or reverse discoloration, or even a hidden wrinkle, now it does not matter, they are now rejecting any card they deem differently without letting buyer or seller know why specifically unless you call them. Unfortunately, its implied to novice or even veteran buyers that the card is NOT AUTHENTIC which is not true.

E bay is now dictating how your card business can be conducted even if you give customers a fair and complete return policy(we give 35 days, unconditional), quality products and great service. Raw card collectors will see extended delays and less vendors that wish to endure this hassle and that is unfortunate.
