It really pisses me off too when a game arrives damaged simply because the sender is too lazy or cheap to use proper packaging. It is something that can be completely avoided. I haven't really had this issue with eBay sellers, moreso Amazon & some other online retailers.

The last game I bought from Amazon arrived with the case curved & looked like a banana, because they use those shitty bubble mailers that give no protection. It went straight back!

For this reason & if possible any new games I like to buy from a bricks & mortar store so I can inspect the game before leaving. I'm the same with movies as well.

For new items, you expect it to be in perfect condition. Secondhand items, you can expect some issues, not everyone looks after their stuff like us.
