Big news for trading card enthusiasts! As of March 31, 2025, eBay has revolutionized the way you buy and sell ungraded cards with its new integration of PSA grading directly into the checkout process. This exciting development streamlines the grading process, offering significant benefits for both buyers and sellers.
How It Works:
Purchase an Eligible Card: When a buyer purchases an ungraded trading card priced at $250 or more on eBay, they'll now see an option to add PSA grading during the checkout process.
eBay's Authenticity Guarantee: The card first undergoes eBay's rigorous Authenticity Guarantee process. Here, expert authenticators verify the card's authenticity and assess its condition.
PSA Grading: If the card passes the Authenticity Guarantee, it's then sent directly to PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) for grading. PSA graders will assess the card and assign it a grade on a scale of 1 to 10.
Encapsulation and Shipping: Once graded, the card is encapsulated in a protective PSA holder and then shipped to the buyer.
Benefits for Buyers:
Simplified Grading: Buyers no longer need to deal with separate grading submissions, extra forms, or additional shipping steps. The entire process is integrated seamlessly into the eBay checkout.
Increased Confidence: eBay's Authenticity Guarantee provides peace of mind. If a card doesn't pass the initial inspection, the buyer receives a full refund.
Verified Condition: Buyers receive a professionally graded card, eliminating any guesswork about its condition.
Benefits for Sellers:
Streamlined Process: Sellers benefit from a simplified workflow, as they don't have to handle the grading process independently.
Attract More Buyers: Offering PSA grading can attract a wider pool of buyers who are specifically looking for graded cards.
Higher Potential Value: Graded cards often command higher prices, potentially increasing the value of a seller's inventory.
The Future of Card Collecting is Here!
This integration of PSA grading into eBay checkout marks a significant step forward in making card collecting more accessible, efficient, and secure. By combining eBay's vast marketplace with PSA's trusted grading services, both buyers and sellers can enjoy a more streamlined and confident experience.
