I bought a mic mixer on Ebay that arrived packed with no padding
whatsoever. He had basically just wrapped cardboard around the chassis,
taped it up, and stuck a mailing label on it.
The damage was surprisingly small considering, but of course the seller
didn't even reply when I contacted him about it.
That's one reason I rarely buy anything on Ebay. I've had much better
luck with Amazon.

Yes, definitely. I almost never buy anything on eBay, but did purchase
a Bird Thru-Line with several slugs a few years ago. It arrived with
the meter destroyed [pretty hard to destroy the rest of a Thru-Line
:-)]. It had been packed with two of the double large air bags, 3 of
the 4 bags were deflated when I opened the package. No relief from the
seller, I guess it's caveat emptor all over again.

Bubble wrap and packing peanuts work well for packing, but those large
air bags should not be used with anything having substantial weight. I
have seen many of those large air bags that have popped and allowed
the contents to move after they pop. Soft foam sheets do not work
well either, they 'squish' too much.
