Authenticity Guarantee

Why do some sellers selling Jewelry not sell with the authenticity guarantee?

Authenticity Guarantee is added to listing by eBay if item qualifies.

Sellers can't add it themselves.

Hi. Thanks for the response. What does the item need to be able to 'qualify'? 

I have been looking at some 9ct gold bangles that are over £2000. A few don't have the authenticity blue tick?

Essential details are below but you can read everything and look at the FAQs by putting 'authenticity' as the search term into 'Help & Contact'.

If the items you have seen are in the UK, they could simply be a brand which does not qualify for authentication.  Your bracelet does qualify as it is over £500 and unbranded.

Does it have a full UK hallmark and not just a 9ct mark?  If not, it won't be authenticated.

You should remove your other listing - Ebay rules do not allow you to display your contact details.
