I had this happen to me as well apparently there are some ““ buzz words that if put in the listing disqualify the service from being used such as set break which makes no sense to me?

eBay has been going downhill for awhile, but it's turning into a dumpster fire lately.

Great. Very funny.

[RCMcKenzie]

The guy or gal in Louisiana that opens a drawer and loads up a card never happens anymore. It's no longer a Joe and Jane yard sale. It's serious business.

some folks send cards to PSA, pay through the nose, and eagerly wait 22 months to get them back.

some folks complain about a few days delay, which doesn’t cost them, to have PSA eyeball a card they just bought.

hobby has all types I guess.

22 months lol never understood that

[Snapolit1]

Even if PSA hasn't stopped a single fraudulent slab with the eBay program, the fact that they are at least taking a quick look at these might give fraudsters pause and move them to another business plan.

They're not eyeballing the CARD just the slab. That's been explained repeatedly. I don't need them to eyeball the slab of a card that was slabbed, by them, a month ago.

There haven't been people posting on this board about fake slabs? From Mexico or something. I seem to recall people even posting eBay listings with fake slabs.

That is funny. The first complaint is "there's a bunch of fake cards on ebay and they won't do anything about it!!!"

Then later it's "eBay is checking all the cards for fakes whether I want them to or not!!!"

Going back to the eBay listing, I do see the term “set break” listed in the title. Yeah, makes no sense to me as well.

Just worked a deal with an eBay seller and had him put, “set break” in the title just so I wouldn’t have to wait for the cards.
I believe it should be a seller option and or buyers option to have the eBay authentication rather than the preset rules triggering the authentication. The the rules can stand but the seller gets to decide if should be authenticated to prevent returns and the buyers have the option if it is a suspect seller or card.

So they took my card out of my perfect fitting Superior Fit baggy and put it in their loose fitting bag that doesn't fit the card at all. Nice.

I just received a card I bought off the Bay that went through the authentication program and received a package/box similar to Greg (G1911). I am impressed at the packaging and display box! (Went to mail box and wondered why I had such a big box for only one card.) My confusion is that it looks like PWCC was the expert grader as it contained there A Top 30% card with my package!!! PWCC was booted by eBay a while ago so are they now using them to authenticate? Seller didn't indicated in description that it was PWCC A Top 30%
Maybe I'm missing something...

I would expect the card was probably previously sold by PWCC and they stuck the sticker on it then, in the past for that old sale. Probably just that nobody has taken it off the slab.

[Kidnapped18]

Ok that makes sense Greg and I see the sticker on the slab and viewed the pics from eBay that show the sticker already on as well however this came with a PWCC Marketplace card outside of the display box. Maybe the previous owner mailed it with the card similar to you receiving the note from your seller.

On the alternate side of this story I just received a Jumbo SGC card (R311 Leather Finish) from PSA/Ebay authentication of the slab and it came back in a super thin large bubble mailer only.
No cardboard or protection other than the thin bubble mailer.

No damage to the holder miraculously but still not a smart way to ship. I know PSA doesn't mail their own Jumbo holders that way from grading.
