DY Bracelet Rejected by Authenticator for "Not Matching Listing" – Vague Reason?
Summary: ap331992_9 shared their experience of having a David Yurman bracelet rejected by eBay's Authentication team because its condition didn't match the listing description. The rejection cited a mismatch in the main gemstone's variety but wasn't specific about the problem. They included detailed listing information and photos and asked for advice on common reasons for listing mismatches and tips on how to relist the item accurately.
Hi everyone,
I recently sold a David Yurman bracelet, but it was just rejected by the eBay Authentication team and is being sent back to me. The reason they gave was "I verified that your item is authentic. However, the item's condition doesn't match the listing description. Issues found during inspection include:
Variety of the main gemstone(s) does not match the listing. Item can be relisted but ensure item is accurately depicted in the listing.Variety of the main gemstone(s) does not match the listing. Item can be relisted but ensure item is accurately depicted in the listing."
I want to figure out what triggered the rejection so I can relist it correctly.
The Bracelet: David Yurman HEX BEAD BRACELET Black Onyx and 18K Yellow Gold, 6mm
My Listing Details:
18-karat yellow gold
Black onyx
Bracelet, 6mm
Magnet Clasp
Length - 8.75 inch (L)
Photos I Included: I provided photos of the overall bracelet, the end caps, and the stamps/hallmarks.
For those who have experience with the jewelry authentication program, what are the most common (and minor) reasons an item gets sent back for a listing mismatch? Could it be a slight measurement difference, a specific keyword I used, or a missing detail about the pouch/box?
Any advice on how to safely relist this would be greatly appreciated!

Mentor1 month agoThe only gemstone mentioned in the description is Black Onyx, so it sounds like the authenticator believes the stones are NOT Black Onyx. Take the bracelet to a jeweler and find out what the gemstones are and then change the listing.
