Authenticity & grading

What is expert review?

Published 7 May 2026

Every listing on eBuy is checked by a reviewer before it becomes visible. Reviewers are assigned by specialism, so coins are looked at by someone who knows coins.

What the reviewer checks

  • Whether the photos are clear enough for a buyer to judge the item
  • Whether it is in the right category with the right attributes
  • Whether the description matches what the photos show
  • Whether it breaks any listing rules

They can approve it, reject it, or ask the seller for better photos. A reviewer can also correct the title, description, category, weight, or shipping carrier, and records a reason for each change. The article on what changes after review explains what you see.

What it does not do

This is the important part. Expert review is a quality check on the listing, not a verdict on the item.

  • It does not certify that an item is genuine
  • It does not value the item or promise it will sell
  • It does not decide refunds or payouts
  • It does not replace your own research before buying

A reviewed listing means a careful person looked at it and it met the standard. It does not mean eBuy is standing behind the item's authenticity. For that, look at third-party grading.

Expert review is a marketplace quality process. It is not a certification, a valuation, or a guarantee of authenticity.
