bclarkie wrote:Hey I like using Saran wrap. Not for items going into a envelope mind you, but if I have a number of items going into a box, I almost always package them up in Saran wrap first, prior to bubble wrapping them. That helps hold them together inside the bubblewrap and it also helps protect them from the tape when I packaging them up as well as when the buyer is unpackaging them.

Or is it just "Newbie Dumbass" who is working on his 3rd ebay transaction and doesn't know squat? Or is it "Im Really Intelligent" Guy who is asking who played the drums on Track Five, is the CD in ADD, is the live session from the Isle of Wight, etc?

quick dispatch, great item and very good price. Over all very good. Top seller!!
2 dozen counters missing & a thin layer of bubble wrap isn't sufficient packing.

I apologize.Nevertheless, I'll indulge your criticism of my opinion!Whether the guy is an idiot or not is entirely beside the point. It's like when your girlfriend or wife says something nasty to you and you don't think you've done anything wrong. Saying something ugly back because what she did was inappropriate is not the right way to deal with people. All that happens is that people grow apart, become bitter, and animosity builds.This is no different. In the seller's mind, what he did was appropriate and justified. That's all that matters. To challenge him, using a tone that can easily be misconstrued as impolite and aggressive, is just asking for something bad to happen. My point is simply that, in the future, one is better off taking the high-road in all matters of life.
Huh? First of all I have to sleep with my wife, not the seller or buyer.
Second, if you take the high road view with these people you are precieved as weak and they walk all over you. Take cougies tactics as an example. So CSH, you keep on keeping on with the standing up for yourself and leave the meekness to STD.
