[sajohnson]

According to these eBay listings, the BendPak XPR-10AC and XPR-10ACX are ALI certified:

However, according to the ALI website, they are not:

Can anyone clarify this for me?

Like I posted before, in another question you had, you can't go by what the dealers tell you. Most of them are still advertising that the products are made in the USA, and that the lifts are certified when in fact some are and some aren't. I believe if you look at the Bendpak website they list them as certification pending. If it's not listed on the ALI website as certified then it's not.

I've been relying on the ALI site.

One thing that occurred to me is that it's possible for websites to be out of date -- either the ALI site and/or the mfr's site. Still, without any further info I'm going by what's listed as certified on the ALI site.

I think the ALI website is your best bet as far as an up to date list. If in doubt you can give them a call. You can't always go by the manufacturers site. When I purchased my Bendpak HD-12 lift it set on their website that it was certified. In fact the certification had expired the year before and Bendpak never updated their website. You can always give ALI a call if you have a question. I called there one time and ended up speaking to Bob Gorman, the president of ALI. Everyone else was in a meeting and he was answering phones that day. He was very helpful.
