eBay chooses if the item goes to be authenticated. Not seller decision.

Sellers and buyers have no choice whether or not items go through Authenticity Guarantee. eBay makes those decisions based on factors like brand and price.

Shop total price (item+shipping). Don't look at shipping as a separate expense. If the total price is worth it for the item, make the purchase.

For your protection. Shop by total price... don't sweat the division of it. 🙌
