OT: You Cannot List SGC 3 or SGC 5.5 Cards on eBay Because Of Glitch

[D. Bergin]

Well, I just did a test. Thought I might be able to do an end around with Inkfrog, my 3rd party lister I use for Ebay.

Inkfrog gives me an option to list SGC 3 and 5.5 in their system so I tried to list a 1954 Ernie Banks SGC 3.

Kicked back the following error when I tried to list:

This item failed to launch with the following error:

Condition description field is not valid for category 261328. Condition description field ignored. The information of descriptor Grade (27502) does not match the information of descriptor Professional Grader (27501).

The information of descriptor Grade (27502) does not match the information of descriptor Professional Grader (27501).
2750214

Then I tried an SGC 4 card, and it listed that one successfully.

So apparently those grades don't exist in Ebay's system at all, even for 3rd Party listers that have the right attributes in their programs.

What an absolutely dumb problem for Ebay to have.

I've always despised that Ebay Item Specifics became mandatory. Just be thorough in your titles and descriptions, and that's what search engines are for.

This makes absolutely zero sense. Do better Ebay.

***Conspiracy Theory Alert***

Perhaps the big dog, PSA, has pulled some strings and 'forced' eBay to f*ck with their main competitor and keep a slew of SGC slabs off of the menu? Just saying.

When did this start? I listed a SGC 3 less than 2 weeks ago with no problems.

I first noticed the issue on Thursday morning 11/16. The last one graded a 3 that I listed was on 11/11 without an issue.
