EBay really needs a "packaging" rating from 0-5 stars as opposed to just shipping costs/time. We can certainly dock them on the "item as described" if it gets damaged en route, but that's the limit right there (besides neutral/neg feedback)
One thing I got from Amazon that had awesome packaging was the hardcover Zelda strategy guide box set from Prima. The outer box was all messed up but there was another box inside that was fine, and inside that were these foam end cap things I've never seen before or since that sort of suspended the box set in the middle of the box so it wasn't touching any of the sides. For such a heavy thing it arrived totally mint.

I totally support the idea of a packaging rating on eBay! eBay sellers need to understand packaging is a very important part of their job.
