ebay authenticity guarantee check missing

[nolimitsportscards513]

I have a very expensive trading card listed on my account for sale. It is the only one i see missing the authenticity check. Why is it missing? I am afraid to accept potential offers because it seems like it will not go through the authenticity process.

Hmmm... I see 2 without the AG. Caitlyn Clark 2024 Panini card and The Rock Miami Team card. Don't have an answer, tho...

I noticed the same thing.  I have about 20 higher dollar items listed.  I have had them listed for about 2 years...I sell one about every 2 or 3 months.  For the last two years or so,  the Authenticity Guarantee was automatically showing on my listings...and I love it.  Cuts down on a lot of headaches.  On Friday I sold a card for about $600, assuming, like every other card I have sold in recent years, it would go to one of EBAY authenticity centers.  However, when I went to pring my label, it shows the buyers home street address.  I still mailed the card out, but it makes me nervous.  I went back and checked the other 20 cards I have listed, and all but 2 of them still show the Authenticity Guarantee icon.  These are all cards that I have listed for $700 or more dollars.  What happened?  Is this no longer an automatic thing.  Before it was just automatic, a seller had no choice.  I would be happy to pay for the service, just to save **bleep** customer dealings.  But, it just doesn't seem like an option...and why on some cards, but not others?

I do not know why you are not seeing  the authenticity check  maybe look here and see if anything can be applied to your listing:

You will also be responsible for eBay's standard international fees that apply to these sales. If you do not want your item to be sold to buyers internationally, you can exclude countries or regions you don't want to post to by updating your shipping settings.
