Does anyone else find a recent order or Ebay logo packing supplies to be inferior?

I recently ordered bubble mailers and tape with the Ebay logo.  I've been ordering these things for years with my quarterly coupon, but they are both different now, and not in a good way.  The mailers are thin and transparent, and the tape does not stick!  After I finish packing a box, it's already starting to fall off.  Has anyone else experienced this.?

No, I haven't had any problems, at least not with the envelopes. I order the poly mailers normally, they're really nice and thick and the tape is extremely sticky and holds really well.  I did order some smaller bubble mailers a few months ago that are good.

 

Can't say for the tape, I ordered a bunch last year and I'm still using it. It's been good tape so far.

I have been using the eBay branded bubble mailers for years.  The only issue I've encountered is that sometimes the side sealing is off and not even.  On one order a majority of the mailers were not sealed and fully open along one side.  I contacted the distributor and received a free replacement.  I always tape the top flap as a safety precaution.

 

The white bubble mailers are thinner and you can vaguely see what's inside.  I've never used the tape.

I order the white bubble mailers in a couple of the smaller sizes occasionally.  My most-recent batch are indeed way thinner & more transparent.

The new mailers are sufficiently transparent one can fairly read a book through them.  But I find they are about the same thickness.   Another issue is the adhesive which is not permanent as one can peel open the mailer after closed.

List more, sell more. Goodwill that other, uh, stuff.
