Too funny!
One of the things I like to buy is Chinese tea Sets...Sometimes I know it is a c^^^ shot ordering them. Sometimes they arrive broken because of poor wrapping. (Wrapping with Newspaper alone is One BIG NO-NO)
I had 2 sets that came to me with damage...I do not ask for partials, but I do send pictures right away! My favorite one is majolica set for children...The Seller set all the cups, sugar bowl, and creamer on top of the Platter...:(. Even with the platter broke I still would have kept it without a partial...The other One is a pretty flowered set. It had 6 cups, but 2 were broken because the Seller nested the cups together and did not put enough bubble wrap in between 1 set of cups...I did not mind only having 4 cups. I also would have kept that set...That Seller was also gracious enough to give me something off...I did NOT ask for anything off nor would I have.
I received One Set wrapped in a newspaper recently, I do not even know HOW that one survived, but I was so happy nothing was broke! I was Not happy with the packaging, and I would NOT have bought another thing from her. On top of that, we had a lively discussion on the size. It looked like an adult size but was a child set. The pictures were taken very cleverly and no size was listed. She probably deserved a Neutral in the least. I am sure she put me on her list and really IF she did then I am glad she did...I actually was pretty HOT at first...I did not leave any FEEDBACK on that order...I was afraid to go to the page.
Negatives should be reserved for EXTREME problems. Do You realize how many Elderly that Sell here Need the money they get here for basic necessities and medications to live? How about the College students who sell her to supplement their income to make a better life for themselves? Or the Single moms who are Selling on eBay to take care of their families? How about the Seller who has nice products invested in his store what happens IF that One negative shuts him completely down?
I do have a few questions of You OP. How do You want to get Your items? IF they were put in 2 boxes and wrapped with Mega bubble wrap the cost of shipping would have to be passed onto You...Then would You be complaining about the cost of shipping? If The model was opened and repackaged then would You complain that it had been open and parts might be missing? I certainly wouldn't be NEW then...how would You like that? I guess I do not understand how models can be broken so easily compared to glass and dishes etc.
I have in the past when I had something to discuss with a seller that I think Might help them. I don't want them to be on the defensive right away so I give them truthful but glowing Feedback. (most Sellers have many positive traits to give feedback for). A few days later then I approach the problem I see, Hoping to be helpful. Maybe You should try that...
Throwing Negatives around IS NOT THE ANSWER. Sellers here have many friends. This is the World Wild Web but You'd be so surprised How Sellers her fight together One day...and the next Day they are comparing buyers who are quick on the draw. Some things do come around to haunt Buyers...Karma is tricky. It will be the time that You see the things You've always wanted 50% below the normal price, in pristine condition.The computer might mess up and You can't buy the item even IF You offer triple what is it worth. Sorry, Charlie. Do You Sell models cars on Your other account? Just wondering.
Well, I know that I have been rambling on too long! I have to get some work done now on MY LISTs they need to be updated!

Well... when you are over 200 years old you lose a few to natural causes.... it doesn't take long for them to tire of my shenanigans, within 20 years they all either run away or pray for sweet death.... Mayhap I should change.....
