THANK GOODNESS FOR HIGH STANDARD SELLERS !!!!! My recent purchase of a bargain headvase of $14.99 total with shipping did not alter the attitude of this wonderful seller!!!!!*************** When you have pride and class, all items get the same packing and shipping treatment WOW---was I blown away- This cute little bargain headvase arrived packed like it was worth $15,000 bucks ~ it took me almost 20 minutes to dig her out~~~~~~~!!!!!!! AND in EXTREME CONTRAST - on the same day - an item that cost me $79 dollars was wrapped once around in bubble wrap and tossed into a tiny box with popcorn !!!!!!! of course she arrived broken! ~~~~~~~~~~~Even with THREE MESSAGES - BEFORE THE BID - DURING THE BID AND ON PAYMENT - REQUESTING the seller to use a shatterproof packing method. MY REQUEST WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS~~~~~~WHAT THE HECK IS THAT~??????? ???????______What makes one seller take pride in their shipping and another careless - I'm not sure BUT I WILL SAY - that even though I've written many sellers Shatterproof packing methods - some thank me - and some don't even bother reading it - ALL THE WHILE - THE SELLER who disregarded my request for Shatterproof shipping - has a million bidding/buyer rules and policies ____GO FIGURE ???????????>>>>>>> WELL the bottom line is - EBAY is no different than shopping anywhere else ~~~~~~~~~~~~ask me if that seller who's head vase arrived broken --- because they could care less about shatterproof shipping request ----- WILL I EVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN ?????? NOT !!!!!! and what about the SELLER WHO TOOK THEIR TIME IN PACKING for safe and secure arrival - A BIG YES ********- THEY HAVE EARNED MY TRUST AND-- WILL I PAY MORE FOR ANOTHER ITEM THEY ARE SELLING ? - ABSOLUTELY ------IT comes down to smart business sense, just like it does any other store in the world - EBAY may be an auction and bidding ground but it is also millions of little stores with store owners - SO .......if you want to keep on making money on ebay - treat your customers as though you were looking in their eyes - cause in the end - it's down to you whether you get return customers and grow your business OR catch a new fish once around and never leave low income random sales.!~!!!!!!!!! GOTTA GO GOTTA CHECK MY BIDS and CREATE NEW LISTINGS ~~~~~~~ Chelsea - if this helps someone let me know!!!!!!!!
