Guaranteed authentication theft

[rdjb7804]

I sold a Wayne Gretzky rookie card that went through authentication process, passed and was shipped to buyer. For some reason it couldn’t be delivered. EBay first said it was lost and refunded the buyer and let me keep my funds. I discovered through a secondary shipper that the card was returned to the authenticator and signed for. When I confronted eBay on this fact they changed their story and admitted that the card was returned to authenticator. They don’t seem to want to entertain the idea of returning my property to me. The deal was with the buyer not some eBay authenticator service who now has my card

You can't have the card AND your money. It's in eBay's hands now.

And eBay CS routinely lies because they have no idea.
