If you use PSA/DNA's quick opinion service, please be advised.
If the item comes back as "Likely Not Genuine" PSA will then notify eBay and eBay will terminate the auction.
Apparently it does not matter who else's cert is with the item, unless it is one of eBay's chosen few, the auction will be canceled.
Once canceled, eBay will send you a notice that the item will need to be authenticated by one of the chosen few in order to relist. Now being that one of the chosen few had your auction terminated in the first place, eBay is basically telling you to go pound sand.
I had an item that came from a very reputable, nationally known and respected dealer/authenticator. I did not place any information or scans concerning this authenticator in the auction as I did not want to bias PSA one way or the other. Once I received their report, I closed the auction myself. Later on I received the e-mail from eBay canceling my auction, even though I had already done that the previous day.
Now they want me to use these same companies that authenticate forgeries, auto-pens, and stamped signatures as authentic? No friggin way.
I'll relist the item again, but use the cert that came with it originally.
How much are these chosen few paying you eBay, for the privilege of corning the market and back-stabbing other legitimate sellers?
