Who is the authenticator? What if they say a card is real when it's actually a fake? Will the buyer then lose their ability to return it? I'm guessing they will, sure that's part of what Ebay is trying to clean up. This is fraught with problems, not to mention the inevitable backlog and delay. Perhaps the part I like the least is that some middle man (?) will be handling the card. No bueno.

Yeah eBay, the company that has more fake items on their website than any other company in the world and refuses to pull fake items now wants to authenticate. Now that is hilarious.

This could theoretically put a big dent in reducing fraud. As said before the volume is an issue. Simply authenticating is faster than grading but the logistics are still monstrous. Huge delays ahead.

I think this is a way for ebay to reduce those fake items. If seller knows the cards will go through an authentication process then they will stop listing fakes.

^^THIS^^ I know it has made i huge difference in the sneakers being listed since they started doing it with them. I only buy Nike and eBay was loaded with high end fakes.

Well that is the point. They DO have a lot of fake items, and it is unreasonable to expect them to authenticate every item listed, remotely, in real time. So by adding a layer post sale, they can protect themselves (from chargeback / return risk), the buyer, and the seller.

Great move IMO.
