Authenticity guarantee enforced below required price

I sold a yugioh card for $217. But from the moment I posted it for sale it had the AG badge on the auction dispite my starting bit being well below $100. AG requires single cards to be over $250, so what's the deal?

@cornwells_tcshop did you have a Buy It Now price on it that was $250 or more?

If you do an auction with a BIN price, eBay will base whether or not AG is shown on that BIN price regardless of what the final bid happens to be. When they first introduced it to for sneakers, I had a $20 pair go through authentication for that exact reason.
