I use a P.O. Box and have received a half dozen cards from the authentication service.

Well that's interesting you are the first person that I know of who has their ebay purchases shipped to a PO box who has had an item go through the authentication process.

When they first started the program I purchased a card that was supposed to go through the process and because of that it said there would be a delay in the shipping. I was surprised when I received the card in the mail three days later so I checked their terms and conditions and found out why. I have purchased 20+ cards that had the Guarantee and all of them were shipped directly to me.

I think it’s authentic, but I’d need to personally see the card to guarantee it. I understand you wanting to return it. However, if you do, you risk the seller deciding to keep it or selling it to someone else. You risk losing the card.

If the card is fake, it’s a good one. I went to the original eBay listing and focused in the best I could. The card appears to have the correct printing dots. However, like I originally said, I’d have to handle the card to make sure.

Assuming this is the authentication service we are talking about, yes I've received 5 or 6 to my PO Box.

Yes that's the service Steve, and according to their own terms & conditions you're not eligible for the service.

The authentication process seems to be all over the place. I listed a card for auction with the BIN option high enough for it to go through the service. Card actually sold for $150 but is still going to the authenticator. I am happy because I personally love the service.
