Warning when getting items shipped from ebay

(details of actual dealer removed, as it isn't necessary to taint a specific dealer, when this is a general warning)

However the reason I need to raise (it) here is that (they) always ship in padded envelopes to save buyers money.

For that reason , I do need to warn people that if they do deal with (ebay), always specify you want the items sent in a box if you're worried about them being sent out in a padded envelope when talking about things small enough to fit in one. Otherwise (some dealers) will send them out automatically by padded envelope thinking (they are) doing you a favour by saving you shipping costs.

Great post and thanks for the info :)
