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. |
I believe that was a publisher thing because of issues with them ending up severely damaged in shipping. Mine was packaged the same way.
Also, Treehouse Brand stores have really stepped up their packaging. They double/triple box items and pack them well. Plus, whenever I end up with something damaged, they send me a brand new one and let me keep the damaged one, too (even if it is a numbered, limited item like the Wolfenstein Panzerhund edition). No extra costs, they just want pictures of the damaged item.
