How items are packed

[sweetpea622010]

I recently have recently purchased several items on eBay.  They have all come through in excellent condition.  What frustrates me is the packing materials.  For some reason Sellers feel they are entitled to the free envelopes and boxes that the USPS offer.  I'm not talking about using these materials to mail in.  Instead for example they take these envelopes and put an item (plate) as packing material.  This is not the purpose, they are offered to put the items in with packing material (newspaper, bubble wrap, etc and then sealed to be mailed.  Are you too cheap to obtain the proper materials.  I will not purchase from these individuals ever.

Putting a plate in an envelope is not proper packaging, no matter where the materials come from. Sellers should package the item properly and include the cost of the packaging materials in their handling fee or item price so it's  passed along to the buyer to pay.

Some sellers don't care.

I received a package a few weeks ago that the item was put in a USPS Flat Rate envelope, then that was put in a USPS Small Flat Rate box, then that was put in a plain baggie and shipped First Class.

Left neutral feedback and of course Ebay removed it.
