Snared by the new eBay authentication process.

I sold a bulk lot of samples for $650. Unfortunately, the eBay real or artificial intelligence doesn't recognize the difference! The shipping label was to the address of the authenticator.

I chatted with the AI agent for a while, then talked with a real agent.

The real agent said I could mail them directly to the buyer, but noted that I would lose any eBay seller protection if I did.

    You can list $500+ coins in the Bullion category and you won't hear a peep about the new Authenticity Guarantee Program.

    A bulk lot? I thought the authenticity guarantee only applied to single coins sold for over $500, not lots or sets.

    Sounds like you listed in the wrong category. If you had listed under "collections/lots" it would not have to go to the authenticator.

    Imagine their surprise to open the package and find 9 sample slabs!

    Was notified coins are now on the way to the buyer. :smiley:
