WARNING when BUYING or SELLING from USA Ebay Overseas

[Gazereths]

It seems weird that they have the right to open up a package, are they acting as a customs agent? Do they tell the seller about this in their terms of agreement? It would make me really uncomfortable as a seller to let anyone else pack my items.

His whole rant about it maybe being a racist thing about exporting to Japan seemed like BS though, by that logic you could claim Zavvi were prejudice towards MGS fans back when the HD CE came out LOL....Much more likely it was just some lazy arsed person in the packing department not taking the time to pack it securely, and/or some douchebag at one of the many shipping depots it went through just kicking the crap out of it.

I'll be sure to ask about this shipping method when I next buy something from ebay US though.
