I see nothing has changed in the way of this happening. Been down this path so many times its disgusting. Unfortunately most general sellers don't put too much thought into what they are doing in the way of packing. They have no love or appreciation for the item. They are just flipping stuff. They don't care that there is now one less piece of history in the world because of their incompetence. So many irreplaceable things have been destroyed this way in our Ebay world. The other kicker is that these people file a claim (like its the fault of the shipper and not their own fault) and in most cases these claims get paid by the shipping companies. All this does is raise the prices of shipping for everyone else and makes these people even less concerned about how they pack things. They figure "who cares if it breaks, I wont have to pay for it, its insured" If it was packed like @#$% then it should come out of their own pockets. Its the only way they will learn. Jerkoffs!
Perhaps I should have stayed away longer, I feel my irritation brewing already lol.
