Ebay Authentication is a real head-scratcher

The whole program is a really bad joke. If you buy a slabbed card and you know what you are buying, the buyer should have the option of opting out for the transaction. So far, the only thing I find is it delays a card getting here. I also believe it clogs up the submissions to CSG as their grader/ authenticators are being used to look at stuff from this stupid program. Ugh

EBay could eventually add an opt out if both buyer and seller agree. The program protects sellers too so theres no chance EBay would add an opt out for buyer only, unless they add a clause saying if the buyer opts out, all sales are final, zero refunds.

I could see that happening.

That would never happen. That's basically opening up ebay buyers to widespread fraud.

Well, I see quite a few posts by buyers who hate the program and want a buyer opt out. If they trust the seller that much and they don't need anyone elses opinion, EBay should let them opt out with a "tough crap" caveat.
