EBAY authentication of sport shoes over $150

just noticed that Ebay will be teaming up with Sneaker Con and offer an authentication process for all sport shoes over the $150 freshhold.

Brands included will be Jordans,nikes,adidas,Puma,Reebok etc.

The buyer would buy the item then the seller would post it out to the ebay authentication centre were they would either authenticate it or not and then post it out to the buyer or back to the seller.

I don't see this really taking off as the buyer will have to wait longer for the item to arrive and still isn't sure of authenticity until after he purchases the item.

Also in the case of lost items who is at fault Ebay for sending the item or the seller?

What is everyones thoughts of this new project by Ebay?

Im struggling to see the point of  brand new sneakers I have bought direct from the New Balance Ebay store need to be authenticated. Seems like a waste of time for new sneakers that are sold by NB. Just pushes out the delivery time.

I wouldn't have bought from them at all with their feedback.
