I have bought a few authenticated/graded cards, but never submitted/paid for it myself. Although eBay will likely find a way to make this suck, I could potentially see myself using it on an ungraded purchase only if 1) buying ungraded makes sense due to price savings AND 2) I've already consulted some folks that can make a reasonable guess from the pictures alone, AND 3) the cost is comparable to the current prices for grading.

One relevant question: let's say they do use the big 3 for authentication. If the seller lists as original and the buyer pays for the authentication service that deems it fake, what then? Is the buyer refunded minus the authentication fee? Or does eBay refund the buyer entirely and charge the authentication fee to the seller as "punishment" for claiming the allegedly fake item was real? This could get messy.
