The OP IS the seller.(^^highlighted part?) We authenticate Completed / Closed listings? We just do not Authenticate Sellers own items?
The OP can, If she would like to ask the buyer to join & request an authentication? That is within the ATLV Rules? I have no problem with that since it's the actual buyer?
Sellers can't post links to their own listings. Beyond that, the "rules" are whatever the authenticators want to set.
What I meant is that some brand authenticators don't mind authenticating for resellers when they want to make sure they have authentic items prior to listing. And if an item is alleged to be fake, sellers often post their items as reassurance to buyers.
But on the ATLV thread, I've read that for sellers, they're told to go to a professional service.
