Professional Grader Item Specific

[card-collecting]

It seems like eBay has added a new 'feature' today 3/25/21 where listers can only list 1 of 6 grading companies: (BCCG), (BGS), (BVG), (CGC), (PSA), and (SGC) or at least that is what it seems. When typing in your grading company like MINT, DSG, or HGA eBay deletes the field unless it is one of those 6. For collectors, buyers, and sellers this seems restrictive. We all know that there are more companies that collectors enjoy and I am curious if any other sellers are having this issue.

Coin sellers are limited to a specific set of grading companies.  Sports card sellers may find the same type of policy rolling out.

Looks like they have added a couple to their policy, which I believe has been around for a while.

This seems like it may be the case after doing a bit of research. I have yet to see someone confirm it is officially this way sitewide. I am a bit disappointed by eBay limiting their own market in this way, one would think they'd encourage a more competitive market.  We will see though.

I have 6 choices also...and it is odd that they have included Certified Sports Guaranty (CSG), since that company has only been in business just over a month--they just started accepting submissions in mid February, and the first card graded by them to sell on ebay was on March 11. Collectors haven't had a chance to even see their work, but somehow they have achieved a pretty sweet position on ebay's list of graders.
