Your opinions on PSA/DNA quick opinion?

[jbsports33]

agree with the above

Just has it says, the process is just an opinion, but at least it gives collectors a peace of mind to make a decision. In person is always the best, but we voice are opinions here on this site, so what is really the difference. I really think it’s just another way to make some money for PSA which was a smart move, because they are making money. I have used it a few times myself and feel the system is okay. There is always room for error as with everything

I have used their quick opinion a few times and I've found it to be useful. I wouldn't take the sellers results of a quick opinion, you never know if they just put in their listing as a scam. I'd get it done myself and then proceed.

It's been an EBay rule for years! It's right in the PSA/DNA list of rules #6:

6.QuickOpinion opinions are non-transferable, and Customer agrees to the following with respect to dissemination of any opinion Customer receives from QuickOpinion with respect to any item: (a) not to disclose QuickOpinion's opinion to any third party; (b) that QuickOpinion's opinions are confidential and may not be reproduced or distributed without PSA's express permission; (c) that eBay is authorized to remove any unauthorized disclosure of a QuickOpinion opinion from eBay's site.

That's why you hardly ever see it in a Sellers listing---A competitor will report it to EBay & your auction will be removed.

Plus, if you could put it in your listing, look at all the revenue EBay would lose from all the prospective Buyers

I had one experience. I had a Dr. Mike Marshall signed baseball I won in a Leland's auction-- a rare signature by modern standards. I did the Quick Opinion and PSA/DNA gave the thumbs up. Lelands and Quick Opinion agreed.

Despite this rule, I see Quick Opinion used in many ebay listings. I think it is an ebay/PSA rule that is overlooked.
