I buy a lot of Quads and the damage rate on them tends to run about 50% on ones that are shipped rolled. If the poster does not come in a PVC tube it normally does not stand a chance. I don’t know where a lot of the UK sellers get their tubes, but they feel like a wrapping paper core. Country is in desperate need of a decent core manufacturer.

 

Needless to say, I do not bid too high anymore on rolled stuff due to the expectation of it coming damaged. Always pleasantly surprised if it makes it as it left.

Subject: [MOPO] ..............not only posters

 

our MOPO site often speaks of inadequate ebay descriptions.  occasionally, we talk about horrible packaging.

 

but ebay problems occur in all categories.  i also, collect, old french enamelware.  you get the best assortment from the french ebay site.  however, i have cut back purchasing because often the french dealers send packages in the flimsiest of boxes.  i once received a damaged pitcher caused by poor packaging in a pampers box with minimal, minimal insulation.  this was not an isolated situation.  the dealers say, not my fault----go to the post office.  paypal acted grossly irresponsibly.  payment was eventually stopped through my credit card.   the point is, i only bid as much for an item so that if i have to resell it WITH DISCLOSED DAMAGE, i will be able to do so on the usa site.  (many, many of the french sellers, interestingly, do not accept paypal.  imagine being so stupid as mailing cash????)  

 

so i cut back.  takes a month for an item to be delivered, and i don't like waiting to see if something is damaged or not...........

 

.........just some rambling.
