Authentication Guarantee

At what dollar amount is the Jewelry Authentication Guarantee automatically added to the listing?

Over $100,  Over $500, over $1,000 etc?

And if an item is marked down below the threshold is the Authentication Guarantee removed?

Before posting this question I have searched Ebay for the rules but with no success in finding them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Should be. The info posted above says "sold for," $500 or more, not originally listed for.

Above info is correct.  Sold for price; $500.00 goes to GIA, $499.99 does not.
