Why is BAS (Beckett Authentication Services) Not An Option When Creating Listing for Cut Signature?

[treasurequest8]

Hello, 

I want to list a few cut signature cards on eBay that are slabbed and authenticated by BAS (Beckett Authentication Services), although for some reason eBay doesn't include BAS as a selectable option in the "Autograph Authentication" pull-down menu, located in the "Item Specifics" section, when creating the listing. 

Is there a reason why they aren't an option? If so, what is it, though if not, how do I contact eBay to get them to add BAS to the pull-down menu? It's very strange, being that BAS is highly respected and either the largests or second largest autograph authenticator in the world, right alongside PSA.  

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Below is a screenshot of the pull-down menu I'm referring to. Thanks!Pull-down menu, but Beckett (BAS) isn't listed! Why?

Don't worry about eBay's 'whys'... just add it to that field. Good luck!

It could be because the are becoming less and less respected with all the mistakes they make.  They do things like authenticate all of Historic Autographs stuff (because when Steve Grad was ousted from PSA, the owner of Historic Autographs followed him to Beckett when they stood up the authentication department, if you can call it that.)  I have at least two HA cardes encapsulated by Beckett that are not false.  One is a POTUS card from 2018 that is suppose to be one of two people's signature.  It is between a Father and Son, or Sr. and Jr.  Well it is suppose to be the Sr. but it is infact the Son's signature.  I'm currently going through a lot of slabbed cards from HA for someone and I'm disgusted with the stuff I find, misspellings are not uncommon.  Historic Auctions and there stupid LOA is even worse.  The cool thing is the owner of HA is friends with Steve Grad.  They are friends on FB!  Is that not a conflict of interest or what?  PSA has had a change in ownership, went private instead of part of a publicly traded company, let their leadership go, and is now trying to seperate themselves from the rest.  That being said, I would use JSA waaaaaay before I ever would use Beckett, in fact, I would never use Beckett.  Steve Grad, the guy who lied to everyone about all these credentials and education he had, lied about it all.  He looks shady when I saw him  a couple times on Pawn Stars.  He has caused so many problems and I have heard from the older guys in the hobby about his other major screw-ups and disfunctional behavior at shows etc.
