eBay expands partnership with PSA, adds new services

eBay is expanding its partnership with PSA, offering collectors the option to send their graded cards directly to the PSA Vault.

The move allows collectors to send cards directly to PSA for grading, and then on to the PSA Vault for storage and consignment. eBay and PSA announced their initial partnership and services in March.

The new service applies to individual, raw, non-autographed cards priced at $250 and above, with two-plus images in the listing. Specific exclusions apply, such as wet autographed items, autographs before 1998, sets, lots, and multiple quantities.

“We’re expanding the seamless experience we’ve built for trading card collectors on eBay, with a true end-to-end process from purchase to authentication to grading, and now, secure storage,” said Adam Ireland, VP & GM, Global Collectibles at eBay. “Our new ‘send to PSA Vault’ option, part of eBay’s PSA Grading offering, is yet another way we’re continuing to move The Hobby forward, making it easier than ever to build your dream collection,” 

“At the center of the PSA and eBay partnership is empowering collectors with choice and convenience. From grading, to selling, to PSA Vault storage, we are simplifying the journey so you can focus purely on the joy of collecting,” said PSA President Ryan Hoge.
