Ebays new certification dealio

[RCFire82]

So as a raw T206 set builder, when I make an Ebay purchase my card will now be shipped to someone I don't know, opened and handled by that same someone, to be repackaged and shipped out again? Yeah, what could go wrong there?

Maybe they could make everyone happy (although I doubt that's possible) and make the authentication service available as an option for purchases above a certain price instead of requiring it. Then the buyer can decide if they want to take their chance with their own judgement of a card or get another opinion by someone who can actually look at the card in person.

Besides the USPS getting another chance to lose it. The handler could rip the card in half, add tape, use a hole punch on it, trim it, recolor a bad spot, wad it up in their hand, this list could go on and on with examples.

I like the idea.

To me,it adds a level of protection for the buyer..
Simply put, the physical item will have to be shipped and not some phantom package where it becomes one word vs another..
Of course with all the buyer protection that is probably a moot point.

Sold a 1928 Fro Joy crack fielder #6.

It went to CSG, authenticated and sent to buyer in the authentication packaging.

Buyer sent it back to CSG for grading (they don’t yet have this size holder), so the card was returned to him “service unavailable”.

He then filed a claim with Ebay that the card didn’t match the description and photos and is returning the Ruth.

“This card was sent to CSG in their own box and they refused to authenticate the card! CSG and Ebay have created an issue here. Not my fault and not the seller s fault. I called up and they said they do NOT authenticate Froyo cards. So now I have a card that cannot be authenticated.”

Again, they don’t have that size holder.

And for FYI on how this process works:

When the buyer wants to return the card after it has been inspected and deemed authentic and as described by CGS, the buyer mails the card back to CGS so they can determine it is in the same condition as when it was sold before mailing it back to the seller. It has been handled by multiple people, including the buyer, who sent it back to CGS for grading. This will be the 3rd time CGS will have received the card.

And so you know, even when CGS determines the card is authentic and as described, the buyer can still return citing not as described.

Disregard. You already answered my question above.
