    Authenticity Guarantee
                     

    Is there a certain criterion that is needed for Authenticity Guarantee stamp?  I was under the impression that it's automatic after putting an item up for sale that goes beyond the $250 marker (this is for trading cards).  Would like to know as I've put up multiple items and I don't have this stamp.  Any advice woudl be greatly appreciated.

    Trading cards

    Raw and graded trading cards are eligible for Authenticity Guarantee if they meet the following criteria:

    • Cards must be one of the following:
      • Collectible Card Game Single Cards
      • Sports Trading Card Singles
      • Non-Sports Trading Card Singles
    • Graded cards must be from the following graders only:
      • Beckett
      • PSA
      • Certified Collectibles Group
      • SGC
    • Cards must have a Buy It Now price of $250 or more, or sell in an auction for $250 or more
      • If the Buy It Now price is $250 or more but you sell for a best offer or auction price of less than $250, the cards will still be eligible for authentication ​
    • Cards with autographs placed on them by the manufacturer, via sticker or pre-signing, can be authenticated
    • Cards with relics, patches, aftermarket signatures or autographs that were placed on the card in person can be authenticated, but the authenticity of the embedded relic, autograph, patch, etc., cannot be guaranteed
    • Cards must be sold on ebay.com by a seller located in the continental US or Canada to a buyer located in the continental US
      • Note: when US buyers purchase from a Canadian seller authentication is currently available for raw trading cards only

    The following trading cards are not currently eligible for authentication

    • Graded cards that are NOT from one of our approved graders. Examples of unapproved graders include:
      • GMA
      • HGA
      • KSA
      • WCG
      • GBA
    • Listings where the delivery is local pickup, in-store pickup, or being shipped to a PO box

    Some purchases inspected under Authenticity Guarantee are considered final sale. Please read eBay Money Back Guarantee policy for details.

    I feel like there is inconsistencies with this perhaps.  I have items up for sell that are above the $250 threshold that are reflecting the Authenticity Guarantee, and at the same time items that are above the $250 threshold that are not reflecting the Authenticity Guarantee.  All of which are of the same grading company.  This is the reason for my original question if there is anything that is needed from my end to ensure the Guarantee can be placed or not. 

     

    Thank you for responding though, I truly appreciate all the help I can get!
