Horrible Packaging By Ebay Seller....

I was at a potluck where a lady had made a beautiful dessert, and no one touched it. She was on the verge of tears. I fixed the problem by taking a large messy scoop right out of the center. The rest didn't last five minutes.

Ever attend a fried chicken banquet? Especially at a more upscale place? Everyone plays with their potatoes, stirs their kaughy, or otherwise stalls. Pick up a big chunk with your fingers, say "I love the chicken here", and watch everyone else in the hall pick theirs up.

Same thing on ebay. Seller has 100%, but did something really stupid, deserving a neg. Buyer figgers since the seller has 100%, maybe it's him, or at least doesn't want to smear the seller's rep.

Post a neg, and it will often be followed by a half dozen other negs, often within hours.

This is true, had the product been damaged, I would most certainly have left negative.

I once won an auction on shopgoodwill for a silver cert star note that was graded almost perfect and they shipped it in a box which was curved to fit in the box.... Needless to say, I was quite livid...

I had a Capped Bust half show up loose in an envelope that had gotten bent and dented - probably going through the USPS sorting machines.

Really sellers? Not even a few sheets of paper on a $60.00+ coin? No bubble wrap or Safe-T-Mailer?

Also seller had over a 1000+ positive feedback, they refused to take the coin back, I left them appropriate feedback. Sorry it was several years ago and can't remember them anymore so I can't say whom it was, but I would out them if I could.

I'll never forget buying a $500+ coin from a guy involved with EAC--and paying him some extra money to make sure it got sent in a double-padded mailer. He took my money and sent it in a plain envelope--well, a smaller env. inside contained the coin. I asked him why he took my money and sent it that way. He said "It's the way I send every coin". I think some people are completely immune to seeing the perspective of anyone but themselves.

I ordered a well circulated Barber half quite a while ago and the seller put the coin in an envelope. No tape, no packaging, just a loose coin in a loose envelope. Of course it wasn't a proof or MS coin so I wasn't enraged, but I was angry enough to give the guy a very wordy email.

If I remembered the seller I would sure warn you all.

One time I saw a coin that was loose and in bubble wrap. Had to include bubble wrap to keep the coin from breaking!
