Again, I have no problem with the program. I am concerned about the potential cost though.

It also doesn’t apply if the card is not listed under Sports Trading Cards. Here’s a thread where one of the Members here got snookered into buying fake N29 Tobacco Cards. Even though the Member paid $260, the card bypassd AG because the seller sold it under Tobaccociana.

Buying and selling internationally on eBay is a serious PIA most of the time. I know this sucks for our great neighbors up north but I wouldn't send anything that didn't go through eBays international shipping program.

In my personal recent experience selling internationally is a PIA most of the time. The big plus is when the buyer wants a return seconds after tracking shows delivered is eBay takes care of the entire process. They refund the money to the buyer and you never get the item back. eBay does not release any details more than that.

I purchased a high end watch from the UK that had the authenticity guarantee. That was until I actually hit the BIN. Then it changed to no authenticity program and NO retuens.

What is an average turn-around time? If I bought something on ebay on the first of January, when could I expect to have the card in my hands (after all the passing it around between authenticators at ebay)?

What is the criteria again? Is it any card more than $250?

My experience is that you're probably looking at 1-2 weeks once it's shipped from the seller.

It is for individual cards that sell for more than $250. But there are a whole host of exceptions and nonsense that can kick a card out, including whether it's listed in the right category on eBay, and whether it includes silly words like "pack". For example, I had a 1954 All-Star Photo Pack piece that couldn't go through the AG program because the listing included the word "pack", even though "pack" was part of the name of the piece.

My most recent purchase that went through the program was purchase on Dec 18th, delivered Jan 2nd. With two holidays in there, that's probably not awful.

The annoying part is that after I purchased and got the shipping confirmation, I realized the seller was probably 20 minutes from me. Whoops!
