My only theory is that it was stolen. Never got to the post office.

If you purchase something expensive and rare don’t expect to receive it, they have sticky hands.

If you purchased something from eBay that was never delivered - whether it was $10 or $10M - then you should be covered by their guarantee. What am I missing?

The seller had no idea what they had and listed it cheap. So I bought it, it’s probably worth 30x what I paid for it.

I’m still dealing with them about it right now. If it doesn’t pop up I’ll post pictures of the card so when it does in an auction house down the road it will be reported stolen.

So you bought it cheap, but not so cheap that it didn't have to go through authentication. You got your money back or not? I noticed you didn't answer the question.

If you're pissed you didn't make a killing on buying something cheap, that's one thing - but it would be different than eBay not making you whole if you didn't actually get what you paid for. :

It’s still “on going” but at this point it appears to have disappeared after the authentication process. USPS didn’t lose it, they never got it from the authenticators in the New Jersey office. After a week or so I’ll have to open a not received case to get a refund. I’m still hoping it pops up and maybe I’m overreacting. Will see ;/

eBay is now authenticating cards using PSA New Jersey office? Every card I’ve had authenticated regardless where sellers were located, went through the PSA Santa Ana office. Same Cali PSA office also handled the cards I’ve sold on eBay.

Sucks, but that’s all you can do. They should have no problems at least making you whole.

The ebay authentication team rejected the card because they said the case was damaged.

ebay never followed through with providing pictures of the "issues" with the slab. I guess they just gave up and it was easier for them to reject the authentication of the card than send me the pictures they said would be sent to me.

This kind of sucks because I really liked the card. I'll wait to see if it comes up for sale again and I'll wash, rinse, and repeat.

Just curious, who eats the shipping cost to the authenticator and then the return shipping cost to the seller?

frigging fleabay and their "authentication" process.

Got the card thank goodness. Because it was mis-authenticated it took longer to get.

It was listed in the wrong category and I feared it was returned or misplaced.
