eBay authentication service
How long does it normally take for eBay Authenticator to complete his evaluation? I sold a relatively low-value Rolex on eBay (<$2,000) and was directed to ship it to Authenticator. FedEx signed tracking shows the watch was delivered to Authenticator on wed 4/3. Since then, I’ve heard nothing.
FYI “Order details” on my seller page shows “shipped to Authenticator”. Anyone have recent experience with this? Thanks in advance.

Disregard. The "authenticators" at ebay are idiots.

I only have experience as a buyer, but they turned it around same-day.
What is the story this time? |

Am curious to know the circumstances? I haven't sold a watch on ebay since they started the authentication process, but have bought multiple.
I'm not a fan of Stoll & Co for repairs to watches (they're the factory service center for many brands including B&M), but haven't had an issue with their authentication. |

I sold a watch advertised as having a refinished dial. Authenticator “rejected” the watch due to it having a refinished dial. Go figure.

When a watch has been customized in any way, it will be rejected by authentication. |

The Authenticator gives the buyer the option to buy the item with "whatever" discrepancies are noted with the watch, whether listed or not. They give you a couple of days to decide or engage with the seller for a discount, if that is what the buyer wants to do.
