Donna,

    You are bringing up a very good point about appraisals in general.
    If you get a copy of GIA's Loupe that was recently emailed, at the
    conference a panel discussed appraisals. There is not regulation in
    the industry nor is there any certification. The only test is if the
    appraisal is used in a court of law, then someone who has no
    credentials can get in trouble. 

    As to eBay that has irked me for years, the appraisals used as a
    selling tool. It is wrong, it induces unfair competition in a sense
    that an ethical seller would not do it, yet a consumer will be
    influenced by the appraisal. 

    There needs to be some sort of policing on this, the industry is not
    doing a good job in self-regulating.
