Authenticity Guarantee- Not covered??

[mimal-374]

If a ring does not have the authenticity guarantee blue check mark, does anyone know if the ring would be covered under the authenticity guarantee?  The value is $800.

If the blue Authenticity Guarantee check mark is not on the listing, that listing doesn't qualify for the Authenticity Guarantee program.

Why would an item NOT qualify for authentication guarantee?  Can I request the service?  It is for a Tiffany 18K gold ring with diamonds and is $800.

Neither a Buyer nor a Seller can request that eBay pay to authenticate a jewelry item. 

Details on what qualifies can be found at

Often times it's a matter of the Item Specifics. You could look at other listings like yours that are in that program for ideas.

I found this page:  https://www.ebay.com/authenticity-guarantee/jewelry/disclaimer       

By the way, GIA stands for Gemological Institute of America.  I had to look it up ... now you don't have to.

This ring should qualify for the Authenticity Guarantee.  I don't see any reason why it is not.  Makes me wonder if it is authentic.

[mimal-374]

I'm not sure why the ring would not be acceptable for the authenticity guarantee.  Others of the exact same have the authenticity guarantee and this meets all the qualifications.
