The eBay - PSA Authentication Mandate 2.0

[55koufax]

I paid for a '59 Big Daddy Lipscomb in PSA 9 on 12-4. 4SC sends it off to PSA on 12-11. PSA still has my card and tracking sez I will get it 12-23. 19 days to rec one card I paid a lot of $$$ for is unacceptable. F eBay and this program. There is NO downside to giving buyers the option to send it off to PSA for DOUBLE their verification/authentication. All of the comments on this thread that say they love it can still use it if the buyer has the option. No downside for anyone. What happened to common sense?

It took the seller 7 days to send it to PSA? Shouldn’t that be who you are annoyed with?

If you can’t see the downsides of opting out of the program, you obviously haven’t sold enough online or dealt with the general public in a retail setting before. I can think of multiple ways sellers and buyers would create headaches for eBay. Headaches that are, for the most part, avoided because this program exists.
