Ebayers posting items in carrier bags & other mad waysetc !

Some people really mind if they didn't get new pristine packaging and will mark you down for it - particularly if they feel they were charged for both the Ps in P&P.

Some of us occasionally go :eek: when we see what something has been sent in but we keep calm and carry on so long as the packaging is fit for purpose.

i am always stupidly happy if somebody packs clothing in tissue rather than just popping it into a mailing sack as it is but when you think about it, tissue adds no protection does it? It just shows that the seller took care and time over packaging.

I pack all my free postage items in recycled packaging and I've just done a DSR report that shows that in the last 90 days 6% of people who got free postage marked me at 3 or 4 for P&P whereas everybody who paid postage gave me a 5.

What's that about?!

i object to paying lots of p and p and then getting my stuff in used carriers or on one ocassion a bin liner! if p and p charges are reasonable i dont mind

i sold a new monsoon dress on ebay, wrapped it in lilac tissue, monsoon bag, gold stickers the lot and all i got was an "arrived ok", if someone had done that for something i'd bought i would have mentioned it and been so pleased

i used to put wrapped kiddie sweets (love hearts, parma violets, that type of thing) when i sent out packages. But i stopped doing that when i realised someone may sue me for whatever reason, choked, allergic reaction etc.

I thought i was doing something nice and perhaps giving my buyer a smile when they opened the package, but i'm sure some TSFE would try and use this against me somehow!

Ohh what do you sell I got a fruit salad in something I bought from Ebay, I thought it was a great idea I think it was a belly bar I bought. Somebody left a negative about the sweety, how carp is that :rolleyes:

I won a motorbike jacket - it arrived in a surgical vaginal plastic speculam box. With big pictures of the surgical instrument all over it - the box wasnt very discreet.

I was a bit puzzled at first - staring at the picture on the box, wondering why i would be recieving such items so i opened it to find my jacket inside.

Nice jacket though and all the family had a good giggle.

I too have had items turn up in blown vinyll wallpaper, carrier bags, re-used envelopes & newspapers.

Im happy as long as i get the item i paid for in the condition it was described, as i take into account the auction price plus P&P.

I sold something once and the buyer sent me an evelope that had been used about 5 times with stamps on that obviously had been taken off sent letters. He also sent payment in cash minus the postage cost so I had no choice but to send it in the tatty envelope with the dodgy used stamps on! He never even left me feedback!

I think in Free P&P the P&P Costs DSR shouls automatically be 5

You need nerves of steel to do enhanced DSR reports. I am still pondering why I had 2 lots of 1 or 2 * left for item not as described yet all glowing positive feedback

I don't think it matters what a seller uses for packaging so long as it is reflected in postal costs and the item is suitably wrapped. I don't mind things in used jiffy bags or bin bags so long as I'm not charged extortionate amounts of postage, but then I usually have a rough idea how much something should cost to post and if it is way over the odds don't bother bidding anyway.

I too have got a bit excited to receive items of clothing wrapped in tissue paper, nice touch I think:j

I once bought a bundle of children's clothing, with p&p at £10.

It was hand delivered in a black bin liner.

I didn't complain and left good feedback and stars as I was happy with the overall price that I paid, but I do have to say that I would think twice about buying there again. (clothes were lovely for little bear, though).
