EBays Card Grading Guidance

Does anyone else think EBays guidance on card grading is an embarrassment and off the mark?

No.

It is up to you to grade your cards correctly. Why would you follow guidelines if they are wrong?

Graded: A card that has been inspected by a third-party service. These cards are inspected for authenticity and assigned a score (usually on a 10 point scale) for the condition. These cards are then assigned an overall grade and usually sealed in a tamper-proof holder. Cards may be assigned both a numerical score, as well as a condition description such as Poor, Very good, Excellent, Near mint or better
Ungraded: A card that has been pulled from a pack and not graded by a third party company. These are often referred to as “raw” cards

Is this the grading you mean?

Why is this 'an embarrassment and off the mark'?
