[QUOTE="Fawns61, post: 461465, member: 9420"] Please don't shoot me down for this but people on here are generally serious collectors, so of course they want the best and for the item to be received in the same condition it was listed at, which is as it should be, especially when they are not cheap. However most Evilbay sellers are probably not aware of the importance of protecting the packaging as well as the actual item, or have seen how badly parcels can get treated on their journey. They just sell them for the best price they can get, pack them up and ship them off. The above suggestions will probably sound OTT to them. I have sold things on the bay in the past and believed I had always packaged them very carefully and thoroughly but I never thought to put them in two boxes. I consistently got good feedback for them being well-packaged too. Obviously in the future I will take even more care. I just wanted to show that even 'careful' sellers can get it wrong! I would not have taken offence at anyone wanting things packaged in a certain way, as long as any extra postage costs were accounted for if needed. I sent one loose figure to the USA where the buyer had asked me to take extra care with the hands on it, so I wrapped it as best I could and he raved over the 'creative' packaging being great. This forum is brilliant and I am learning so much. I had never even considered how figures could rattle about in transit and damage the bubbles for instance. [/QUOTE]
