PSA vault eBay purchase question.

I recently bought a high-end (over $1,000) PSA graded card on eBay from seller PSA. I received my card today and noticed it was never authenticated (bagged and stickered) even though it clearly meets the criteria. My question is are all cards sold on eBay by PSA exempt from the Authenticity Guarantee? Thank you in advance.

If it was delivered to a PO Box it will not go through authentication. Not sure if that is your case. Did the listing state it would go through the authentication process? If not maybe the way the seller listed the card exempted it.
No PO box. It was sent to my home address. The listing didn't state the authenticity guarantee, but I just assumed all graded cards sod on eBay were automatically sent for authentication due to being over $250 in value.
Same for me on an above 250 non sports card. I guess they don't need to send it to themselves?
I get that part, but shouldn't they still authenticate it? Or are they that confident that every graded card in the vault is legit.
If the listing never show's Auth Guarentee, then it will not go to Authentication. I'd imagine that any slabs "ingested" to the vault are authenticated at that stage as they don't want to vault fake slabs. Any cards that are sent direct from grading to the Vault are obviously authentic. So I'd imagine that all PSA direct ebay sales are exempt from the Auth Guarentee process at sale time as the Advertisment for the PSA vault states that EVERYTHING in the vault is backed by the Auth Gurentee.....
