Ebay Situation

ebay scams

I recently purchased some rainbow books on ebay then the seller said he could not find them. he kept having excuses then asked me not to give negative feedback what a jerk. i finally got the refund from pay pal two months later.

Some sellers are amazing

and not always in the good way. I recently bought a vintage ploor polisher. it came in a huge box, NOT ONE SPECK of packing material. I opened the huge box, and there it was ... perfect, but that was just luck. I've gotten appliances in their original boxes, protected in another box OR wraped in plastic. Some folks really "know' what they're doing. Others.........................

You haven't lived until you have opened your box to find your now broken vacuum wrapped in someone's disco era sweat suit among other "packing" materials.

polisher/not one speck of packing

John,
I hope this was not from Bristol,VA.Once I take an item and help with pictures I have nothing else to do with computer,payment,address,packing or shipping.The packing on large items is done by the hopefully trained staff at UPS in a building full of boxes and material.Of the very few problems one involved a non vac glass item that was packed rather well but arrived broken.Let me know.I pass UPS on the way to my EBay seller and would not mind to stop for additional training.Perhaps after a stop at one of our incompetent Mcdonalds puts me in the right mood!,

You can bet one thing!

If I ever send anyone something, it will be very over packed!LOL..I dont believe you can use too much padding , I have recieved things broken, so I do my best not to send anything that could be damaged, of course we know some shippers could tear an anvil up!

Yes,agree,better to overpack rather than having the shippers baggage smasher gorillas smashing your anvil!
