Ebay guarantee authenticity program

Is this code for, "the seller claims you sent them a wet newspaper. Give us a few days to sort this $#!T out" or is that their standard response?

On careful review on the matter, I see that you have returned the item to your seller. I checked the return tracking number uploaded and it shows that the item has been delivered to sellers return address.

I appreciate your effort returning back the item to the seller within the time given. Usually, refunds we process are credited to the member’s account within 24-48 hours; but due to the high value of the claim, please allow additional review of our financial team of the decision I have made for you before the release of the funds back to your account. Be assured, however, that you will be notified through your eBay Messages once the funds have been credited back and it will be reflected in your next bank/card statement. At this point, I placed the case on hold for 5 days. Please know we are handling this case with great urgency and importance. This will allow our specialist team time to review the details of the case further.I apologize if it would take a few more days to resolve the issue. Please note that the action we have taken today is an initial resolution for your concern.

As a valued member of our community, we want you to have smooth transactions here on eBay. I assure you that we are doing our best to make eBay a safe and reputable place for buyers and sellers to do their business. That is why we provide each member ample time to give us the information and evidence required to come to a fair decision on each case.

I'm confident that you will understand why we are holding this case and I thank you for the utmost patience. Thank you for choosing eBay as your online selling platform and cheers to more years to come.


Thanks,

Diana P.

This seems to be a standard boilerplate. They said the dollar amount flagged it. And there is no question concerning the issue either. So we'll see but so far I think it's stupid.

eBay is a dumpster fire these days.
IMO eBay has never done anything for the good of collectors and every change is ultimately about increasing the bottom line.
For years I used to have 30-50 transactions a month between buying and selling but my current feedback rating shows ZERO transactions in the last month, 54 in the last six months, and only 113 total in the last year, and my watch list is empty.
To each their own but I'd much rather cut the BS and just deal with a few AH's.
