What to do when an eBay "expensive" card does not pass their "review" ?

[G1911]

As advertised, in the graded card program, PSA does not look at the card at all. They wouldn’t rule the card is a counterfeit at all. They only look at the slab (including their competitors) to rule if the slab passes the vague standards of the program. A fake slab gets rejected, there seem to be conflicting reports on what damage to a slab can pass or not.

If it is a fake slab, I totally get the rejections. But as I crack cards out anyways, the damaged slab issue is one of several reasons I more and more do deals off eBay I would have previously done through them. I don’t need an incompetent grading entity to approve whether or not I can buy a card, especially when their rulings are predicated on parts I will literally throw in the garbage.

I've noticed some of the big power sellers have left ebay after the verification process was put in place. Kinda has me wondering why some have left?

Sounds like something is wrong with your ebay emails.

You get emails when a card passes/fails authentication. You get emails when you are refunded.
