Haven't sold a coin on E-Bay in 2026 so I am wondering how the authenticity guaranteed works?

We've been out of the coin market in 2026 for a variety of reasons. recently I noticed

E-Bay's Authenticity Guarantee. As an example, I sell a $6,000 slabbed coin, I am notified which location to ship the coin to? I insure the coin to the address E-Bay provides? I send the coin registered mail? Coin takes 5-7 days to arrive. It's checked over (2-3 days) and then is forwarded to the buyer? The process from the beginning, might take 2-3 weeks before the buyer receives his/her coin? Will I be i receiving angry PM's or does everyone understand the delays?

Feel free to correct any bad assumptions I might have made.

Trying to understand the new process?

Has anyone shipped coins in the 5-10K price range under the new system?

Have you tried doing an internet search for eBay's Authenticity Guarantee? They have a page on their website that describes how it works.

I guarantee that not everyone will understand the delay.

You sell mostly bullion coins, so they may not even be included in the guarantee.

Do as @MasonG suggested.

Nowhere near those numbers or values. Have a few out….. waiting and hoping it goes well. They’re awfully slow at paying out though…. From
My experience over the past quarter century.

You can change your payout schedule to daily. That way eBay isn’t holding your money for two weeks!

The "on hold" is not available for payout. He couldn't get that money if he paid for instant transfer.

Oh I see. Yes, that makes sense.

I have sold through the Authenticity Guarantee program and funds were paid out within 2 business days. I did not realize that they were holding funds for some sellers (or some items) until authentication.

I was mainly trying to estimate how much time it would take for the buyer to receive the coin if I shipped Registered to the Authenticator?

Does anyone else ship registered?

Do as @MasonG suggested.

On E-Bay I sold mostly slabbed DE's.

Last 4 sales on E-Bay were

!861-S $20 au58 CAC
1862-S $20 au58
1863-S $20 AU58
1862-S $20 S.S. Republic AU58 CAC

Not bullion but not $50,000 coins either.

the price fell in the $6,000-10,000 range.

If you simply list them in the bullion category, they won't qualify
