I hear ya on that, i rarely buy from ebay used mostly because i suck at sniping auctions. All i buy from ebay is usually new from some sort of vendor.
I probably could have been one of those doucher buyers and basically got a free item but i didn't.
I bought a graphics card and the guy just jammed it in a 5 buck flat rate box no padding as it was the perfect size to fit in. So the PCB and fans were just touching the box. I was beyond pissed when i got the package like how stupid are you. I'm surprised it didn't get damaged and has been working fine tho. I gave him neutral feedback because of it tho because that was unacceptable in my eyes.
