Ebay Auth Failure: I'm Losing My Mind

Another eBay head scratcher to me. Not unexpected though. I have seen worse.

It is why they rejected it.

Here is the listing:



It has in the specifics that it is professionally graded an SGC 1.5. That sends it to graded card authentication where they verify the slab is authentic and not tampered with. It was not sold as a raw card. Which is why they said there was a conflict between item description and the listing description. One says it's raw, the other says it's graded.

Can you quote some smaller pics? Dang...

Anyway, I also said, which you didn't quote -

"If he classified it as graded, then probably."

So, yes, I understood if classified as graded, and it's not, then that probably wouldn't fly. The only reason for the "probably" and not the "absolutely" is I was hopeful someone would read it and, since it is transparent and made sense, they would let it fly. But I guess it's black and white to them. I get it.

When I shrunk it, it was unreadable. So I made it long so it didn't make the screen scroll side to side, but got the whole listing in.

But you hadn't made that second post when I quoted you (it took a few minutes from the time I selected to reply to get the photo of the listing edited and uploaded). So, no, I didn't leave anything out of your quote. I quoted your post and left it unedited.

That said, it wasn't so much a post directed at you, but to make it clear why ebay rejected the listing. I just used your quote as an example of what information I was trying to clarify. I appologize if it appeared I was attacking anything you said. I just wanted to answer the OP as to why it got rejected.

It's not really about "letting it fly." There are two types of authentication ebay does. They go to different places (or they used to) and they are authenticated for different things. Graded cards are treated differently from raw cards. It is based on the listing description. They don't read through the item description to determine whether the card is graded or raw. They use the selection the seller chose in the listing. In this case, seller chose to list it as a graded card (even the title of the listing says it's an SGC 1.5). So it went to graded card authentication, where the listing didn't match the description. It's as simple as that.

I would relist as a raw card.
