Wouldn't it be nice if they expanded this to the antique gold pieces that are marked, for example, marked 14k that test 13.2k?

They're not that bright. Holding antiques to modern standards is asinine... which explains everything.

That happened to a friend of mine twice. The first was a diamond ring she had appraised by her local jeweler. Ebay's appraisers didn't agree with it and they sent it back. The second time, ebay rejected a ring marked 14k because it was 13.6k. How is this sustainable for sellers and ebay? This only confuses the average person with little fine jewelry knowledge. This seems like a lose-lose situation, especially for ebay, resulting in a loss of sales. Who is paying for these so-called appraisers and all the round robin shipping? I have some fine jewelry I'd like to sell, but this new appraisal system is stopping me.

I wouldn't sell anything good on eBay. The line on the Sellers board is "Don't sell anything you can't afford to lose", or toss in the trash with $20 on top. That's the way it is now and one reason I quit selling. Anything worth selling isn't worth the risk.
