Packaging Disaster from eBay 2 2

[OJ Pimpson]

Just thought I share this because my mind is blown right now. Ordered a Christopher Spider-Man 1 Negative Color Variant. Book looked NM+ in pics and it probably was before he packaged it. Never seen this before. This guy didn’t use a bag and board. He had a backing board with two individuals pieces of Mylar taped together to form a makeshift bag. Of course during shipping the book slips through, jacks up both corners and much of the spine and has tape stuck to both ends. I don’t think I have ever seen a book packed so carelessly.

Sorry to see that.  It happens a lot, unfortunately.  A lot of people have no idea how to ship, and apparently no understanding of physics at all, like the concept of inertia.  I get roughly 20 shipments in per week, and about 25% are terrible, similar to yours.  About 10% are outstanding, safely and thoughtfully packaged.  The middle 65% is "ok".

You'll have to contact the seller, send photos, explain that they are a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person, etc.  It's a huge time suck.

Not sure I've ever seen a makeshift bag before.

Sorry to see that.

 

Thanks for sharing though.  I don't think we've ever had an example of an ebay seller not packing properly before.
