ebay authenticity guarantee limits now 250/750

[Lorewalker]

Was just skimming over the terms for the slab/label review. eBay has always been overly thorough in their terms. Suspending just how pointless and incomplete this process is, I managed to read this:

You acknowledge and agree that if the third-party authenticator detects fraud or suspects that an item is counterfeit, the item will be removed from marketplace circulation and, if the card was graded by PSA, PSA will deactivate its certificate. If the slab is counterfeit or tampered with but the underlying card is authentic and has not been compromised, PSA will re-holder the card and create a new certification before sending the card to the buyer. In addition, eBay will work with the proper authorities as needed and reserves the right to confiscate or destroy any items determined to be counterfeit.

PSA is validating at least 3 other TPG holders so the question is why? They have no expertise or experience with those holders.

This also suggests they are looking at the cards at least for being counterfeit. All grading companies have graded counterfeit cards...PSA may have graded the most. In that remote case in which they id a counterfeit card they are simply going to remove it. No recourse to the eBay seller who may have innocently purchased a counterfeit card in a legit TPG holder?

And finally, love the "You acknowledge and agree..." part. The program is being imposed on us. Not like we are opting into it if we like it. If we want to sell TPG cards on eBay that are over $750 we have no choice but to acknowledge and agree.
