Question about new Ebay Authenticity Program???

Apparently not anymore if they ever were.

My guess is because Greg Morris is now putting a hyphen between set-break which doesn’t throw off the algorithm ( I bought several cards from him in which the title had Set Break and it bypassed the authenticity guarantee program). I know for a fact that one particular seller is putting “Set Break” ( minus the hypen) in his titles to avoid going through the authenticity guarantee program.

I noticed there was a hyphen as well. I was wondering if that was what made the difference.

No plans on buying an expensive card soon.
And I don't mind a bit of delay.

But I do mind the risk of shipping a card twice instead of once.

The other thing is that some of my better buys have come from wildly mis listed cards. (and other items)
So if someone lists a really nice George C Miller as "old baseball card" and it sells for 500+ ...... how would they handle that?

Yesterday, the price floor for graded cards being authenticated was $500, today the price floor is down to $350.
