Would sellers consider this weird/unreasonable?

[Nivea]

I want to buy some interesting vacuums on ebay for my collection but I live with people that are always at home.

Would it be considered weird/unreasonable if I asked if a seller could ship in a plain box?

Im limited right now to what i can buy since I have to either purchase in person or use amazon's ship in plain packaging option but I wanna get some vintage ones so I was thinking of asking sellers if they can ship in plain packaging. I don't want to be a pain so I thought I would ask here first if it is unreasonable.

Let me know if this isn't the appropriate section for this thread.

Depends on what you consider plain. It might be a banana box or something like that.

As long as it doesn't say vacuum that's plain enough for me

Alright, Usually it is like a big box from something else, or a big bubble wrapped box. Have a look at the start of some IBAISAIC videos. That will give you an idea.

I wouldn't say your request is unreasonable. BUT, be warned - if you ask them to ship in a plain box, and they have to pay extra for it, they will likely either refuse or insist you pay the extra cost for the box.

Yes, like paying extra for shipping, you pay for it.
