Dear eBay Community:
As a short term buyer on eBay, I have made several mistakes. When winning collectables, find out if they come in the original boxes with original inserts. The Post Office does not care about how it handles packages so for collectables, make sure they are packed & shipped by UPS or FedEx. Don't forget to request that the seller wrap the original box so it does not fall apart in transit. I have received several collectables which have been broken due to no original box or shipped by the Post Office.
I have made many purchases in a short time, mostly Harry Potter items. I am now in the process of making an inventory of my purchases due to the fact that there are 2 items that have never been received. I will confirm that I have not received items then attempt to contact the sellers for some dialogue. SO, print your purchases & keep track because you never know with whom you are dealing. Though 99 1/2% of sellers are honest and will assist you if you have a problem, there is always someone who does not keep good records or is just out to make a buck any way they can.
I am happy with my purchases, have glued my broken collectables and am moving on now that I have issued my advice.
Thanks
