...I'm guessing that the boilerplate PSA/DNA uses for their quick opinion service pretty much keeps eBay safe. They're very careful to say something "is likely not authentic" or "is likely not to be authenticated by PSA/DNA," rather than actually saying that something is a fake. In fact, I remember a comment recently on the board that someone got a "likely not authentic" but was encouraged to send it in -- it came back authenticated.

There are plenty of good reasons for this -- after all, a thorough authentication process often must involve seeing the item in person.

On the other hand, some stuff is blatantly forged, and there ought to be an additional PSA/DNA answer, forwardable to eBay, along the lines of "Who does this guy think he's kidding! Mantle didn't spell his name Mickee!"
