I will say 95% of my ebay experiences have been positive. 5% have been negative. For instance just recently I purchased 6 febreze noticeables from a seller. I skipped the insurance because - well, insurance on smell good things? Really?<br />

Anyways, I get these things in the mail. The seller has packed 6 of these things in a cardboard flat rate envelope. You know, those thing cardboard envelopes from USPS? Yeah that. One was cracked and leaking everywhere. I contacted the seller and the first things out of his mouth were - you didn't get insurance. I was kinda pissed off. He offered me 10% off my next purchase. I doubt I will ever buy from him again. I asked for a 4 dollar credit, my emails went unanswered.<br />
<br />
Seems like sellers are packing like crap and blaming the buyer for not purchasing insurance for when it's damaged. When instead, it's the sellers fault to begin with.<br />
<br />
As a seller and a buyer - I could never do that to someone, ever. My mind would just not allow my hands to pack a shitty box for anyone. It's unacceptable. It takes NO TIME to do it right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thats about it. Then you have your people that lie on when they ship, they don't actually ship what you pay for (ship parcel even though you pay priority), they only ship parcel which is a joke, they only ship once or twice a week or you have 3 days to pay them and blah blah blah. I don't go by the sellers crap rules. Ebay has it's rules for a reason. I have 7 days to pay a seller. Not 2, 3 or 1. 7. Hell, I had one seller open up a non paying bidder thing ON the 7th day. Turns out that seller was also a crap packer. Ended up trying to screw me over for shipping and telling me that he was ONLY going to refund the product price. Even though he packed it like crap. I got paypal involved and received a FULL refund.<br />
<br />
Some people are idiots. READ THE FEEDBACK! If the seller DOES NOT respond to questions about the auction you ask during - DO NOT BID. I asked a seller a week ago some questions. Sent 3 messages. Never got a response. Found out they BANNED me from bidding on their item. Go figure.

Well JoeLava, I do agree with you. But I have had lots of good ebay transactions too. I have had people send me "freebies," just because they wanted to and I have also met a$$h*les that I wanted to choke. You never know what kind of people you are going to deal with. I guess my main gripe is the stuff that people don't pack well. I can clean off crud (I'm not happy about it, but I can do it.) But I can't always fix broken stuff.

I guess my main gripe is the stuff that people don't pack well. I can clean off crud (I'm not happy about it, but I can do it.) But I can't always fix broken stuff. I reciently ordered a lamp that was 36" tall. It was a short base with a long glass tube. The seller sent it in two boxes taped together with one piece of bubble wrap. She also sent it Media Mail. DUH-O! Then she acted like I was at fault becase I did not e-mail her and ask for insurance (it wasn't offered on the auction). So I had to get Pay-Pal involved to get a refund. AND she wants the lamp back to prove that it is broken. Ok, here is a 6X6 box of glass.....do I get my money back now?<br />

<br />
My biggest upset from Ebay was a seller that took the Paypal payment and then disappeared, never answering again. Paypal was completely useless as they did nothing, luckily it was only about $30 total. I have had a few bang ups also with a few bent bases and of course my Alien that arrived in pieces and the ocasional dirty lamp of course. My funniest were one lamp arriving in a box that was 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet .....I laughed my ass off because I dug through a foot and a half of packing for 10 minutes before seeing the globe, the other was a lamp that came in a bubble bag....yep those padded envelopes, the top was sticking out taped to the bag and the lamp was taped together intact base-globe-topcap.......and it was flawless, I never figured out what the seller was thinking on that one, I just let it ride.<br />
