    I am most certain that this is the case, and maybe, just maybe this member of 'staff' has a bit of grievance with the exec and this is their way of payback, who knows...
    But I agree, In no way this is acceptable and 'practice as you preach' comes to mind, only obviosly they are not too bothered about their feedback or stars or defects for that matter, as I'm sure it'll be very quickly 'rectified'.

    Do you mind me asking, what's the rest of the feedback is like?

    They've got just under 200 feedback since 2003, 100% positive feedback, though mainly for selling. Recent feedback from his other auctions from this latest batch seem good, but they sold for prices a seller would be more happy with. Can't help thinking he may have just been a pit pee'd off at the price he was obliged to sell these two items to me for?
    • The rich buy assets.
    • The poor only have expenses.
    • The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.

    Sounds a bit like it but still no excuses though. Looking at his £49 sale for an RRP£675 item, I don't feel as bad for letting some of my items worth £50-60 go for a £5 (I still packaged them properly though).
    On the other hand, some people count putting a black refuse bag over item (without any bubble wrap) then sticking a label to it is acceptable form of packaging and because the postage is 'free' you can't mark them down for it

    I agree. I've just sold a router for £5.75 with free P&P and it's in a sturdy box with plenty of bubble wrap like any other item I sell.

    It reminds me of the German head of Paypal a few years ago, who sold some world cup football tickets.

    Stated he didn't want Paypal, but if you did pay, he needed a copy of your passport emailing over with various other details.
