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

I Had an $80(value) uncirculated banknote just put in an envelope and shipped. Was on its way to circulated when it arrived. Yay!

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've had some pretty bad packaging -- taping a coin to paper, etc That has been one of my pet peeves. Buy a coin on ebay, it arrives and its taped to the paper or an index card. Grrrr..... |

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 have had some bad packaging, too. Luckily, I don't buy expensive coins on ebay for that reason. I also can't stand the "taping to the invoice" thing, or the "putting in loose envelope" routine from sellers. :( |

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. |

Won a junk lot from ebay a while ago - the seller simply wound out some tape, stuck the coins directly to the sticky mess then wound the tape back into a roll - no other packaging (apart from the envelope)... |

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. |

My wors experience, and it was one time I had to leave a negative feedback, was a silver gilded with gold piece taped to the invoice, and the gold came off on the tape. So, I had some glue and not so much god on the coin. He asked why I dd not return it for a refund. Te shipping would have been too high a percentage of the initial cost, so I kept it as scrap silver, 0.75 oz.

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

Just bought two coins from a popular auctionzip site. Seller had the 2 coins in 2x2 cardboard holders loose in an envelope. The staples from one punctured the mylar on the other and put a tiny scratch on it. Luckly the coin was a well circulated one and the scratch is really small, so the value wasn't affected. BUT REALLY>>>>give me a break. So I just emailed the seller and he thanked me for the info and said they'd do better in the future.
