I am going to have to file this one with e-bay. I gave the seller the courtesy of emailing what had happened, and his attitude was 'sorry, I shipped it in an approved box'... go bitch to the post office. He is refusing to refund my money.
You bet I will reflect this in his ratings!
It takes quite a bit to get me p****d off, but this one rubbed me the wrong way. Most people that I deal with on e-bay are decent and make things right. This guy wants to be a smart***.

Has ebay changed their policies again? Last I saw, sellers were required to insure all shipments, and were not allowed to include the insurance in the shipping charge. But ebay changes the rules about once a week, so don't qoute me on this...

I learned the value of insuring for the RETAIL amount. I shipped a TD193 card to John Berry in CA and the box arrived EMPTY!!! Yeah, I got my money back, but lost the sale. Some FedEx drone probably thought it was a free cell phone. I also learned that the self-seal packages just make it easier to get into. It gets the tape gun now.
Now, every deal I ship goes out at retail rate. Now if they lose it, it's still my profit.

Joe, if the phone was insured, USPS will want to see the entire mess. When they see the inadequate packing job, they'll probably refuse to cover it. E-bay is your only recourse, although if it was insured, you'll probably have to get a statement from USPS.

'sorry, I shipped it in an approved box' Anyone close enough to this jerk to give him an education with a 2x4?
