My big sellers that I buy from use items from the post office for padding inside the box.
I find it a hassle because it's not reusable for me and I have to throw that stuff away.
I like to recycle myself but can't on that stuff.
However, these sellers(big sellers) are using postage from the post office and not eBay shipping label postage.
That's a big difference for me.
Looking at some of the dates on those items used for stuffing a package are years and years old sometimes...LOL
As long as the payment of postage for shipping is being done by the post office I have no beef.
Do I leave feedback...I never leave negative or neutral feedbacks.
I usually don't leave feedback to the big sellers...I don't like the competition checking to see where I get my deals or my items to re-sell on eBay.
I would leave a neutral - and maybe quote from the USPS site where it states shippers cant do this.
Since eBay is now going to leave positive for everyone if the buyer doesn't, if there is an issue I will be leaving neutral.
FYI - I have never left any seller a negative
As a seller who purchases tissue and bubble wrap or uses my own packing materials found around the house, I hate when other sellers are part of the reason for rising shipping costs. They ruin it for all of us, whether we buy, sell or do both.
This is a feedback I left for a seller a couple of months ago. (FWIW, the package I received from this seller used brand new priority materials. They weren't recycled as she claimed but it doesn't matter.)

Kept thousands of those Priority Boxes on hand (every different size/style).
Now that there's Ground Advantage? Seldom do we have a need to ship Priority.
Should I just throw all these boxes in the trash can? Waste them?
Or should I make use of them somehow?
Like interior padding for Ground Advantage

I've done just as @mommaknows and the clerks at my local p.o are ecstatic to be able to offer a variety of boxes in addition to the flat rate packaging that's all they're allowed to order.
I've held on to some priority boxes for the times when there's little price difference between GA and PM but have donated many and have made postal customers and clerks very happy.
The PO will accept them back.
Dont make excuses for being less than honest.
Trying to deflect that others have more money and can have custom boxes isnt a good look..
