ebay and psa dna a match made in heaven

[khw]

very close they have changed so many times , if you look at the auction lot a few were about the same came from same submission , the rizzuto was that era and a few certs off, i have it listed now and the hologram can hardly be seen in the scan , neither could the musial i sold today , the point now is psa who auth for ebay is supposed to look in hand at these cards to verify there is no way they looked at this card , the hologram is 100% fine , they looked at listing scan and failed it , i have talked with guys at psa , nothing back yet . its life at the new psa and new ebay , straight with ebay sending the trust and safety to mexico and having to try and explain this to them

I bought a couple of cards that were autographed on Ebay. They were higher end. They weren't authenticated yet. They looked spot on. They were sent to EBay "Authentication" and they didn't pass them. I was shocked. I told the seller I'm sending them in to PSA anyway. They passed PSA. I don't think they look at the autographs at all. From what I understand, they just are authenticating the card and not the autograph. I had a Jordan autograph from eBay that passed their ebay "Authentication." I was trying to resell it and someone messaged me saying they just authenticate the card, not the autograph. I quickly took it off eBay and returned the card.

For autograph dealers, this program is especially needless and infuriating. Best to circumvent the BS by putting the word "Set" into the title of each listing. I refuse to participate in this nonsense. Funny, I haven't had a single customer complaint about it, either.

Whenever the time comes that eBay truly forces their hand about this, I'll be taking my listings elsewhere. They need to smarten up and realize that most autograph collectors have zero need for this program and that it should only be applicable to unsigned cards. While they apparently do understand this, they needlessly complicate matters by forcing sellers of signed cards to list in the "Trading Card Singles" section as opposed to creating something similar in the autograph section. This is actually how it was before, and it worked just fine. eBay: Building a Worse Mousetrap.

So it failed because it didn't resemble the most recent incarnation of the PSA/DNA holder?

Pay for reholder, rinse, repeat...until the end of time.

i got a guy yesterday who bought a slabbed 3x5 wants to return because he collects the blue labels , never mind they use red ones now , ebay and psa dna are indeed a match made in heaven , i guess i am active participant but its what these people want , new ways to be parted of their money i am exploring new means of authentication , am happy with jsa , always . just no slabs , warming up to beckett

Biggest problem is people want the PSA slab and are willing to pay more for it. Your complaints are valid, but if you want to make more money, stay with PSA. Just have to be willing to play the game. Frustrating as hell though.

You could have sent the Jordan auto to PSA/DNA to see if it authenticates.

It's a sad statement about the hobby when people care more about the slab it's in than the card or autograph itself.
