e-bay/PSA/DNA Question

Huggyface

Wanted to see if I could get some advice before I proceed. I collect Baseball & Football HOF autographs and have been doing it for close to 35 years so I think I have a pretty good eye for authenticate items. I prefer to buy or have my items authenticated by PSA/DNA. I recently purchased 2 items off of e-bay that I was pretty sure were authenticate. The items were a "Dizzy" Dean signed B&W HOF Plaque (purchased for $150) and a George Halas signed FB card (purchased for $100). Both were sent to PSA/DNA and both came back as questionable authenticity. Since I sent them to be authenticated it is well past the 7 day return period. I haven't contacted either seller yet. Best case scenario is that since the items were sent PSA/DNA and came back as questionable that I will at least get a refund for the price of the items. Question, if either seller refuses to refund my money what recourse would I have? Could I go through paypal since PSA/DNA is one of the only authorized third party authenticators allowed by e-bay. Thanks for the help, Tim.

Has it been over 45 days (Paypal claim)?

If so and they won't refund you, then you will have to do a credit card charge back (I hope you paid via credit card and not bank acct because everyone should be doing this).

The Halas card was purchased over 45 days ago and the Dean was purchased in late October. For both purchased I used the paypal Bill Me Later option.

Both of those guys were prolific signers. Any way you can post scans?

I'm not sure. Since they were purchased off ebay. I would call PP and see what they say.

I know if purchased on ebay you have 45 days.

Here is the link for the Dean e-bay auction. This is the one that I think PSA/DNA got wrong. Dean Auction
