<p>[QUOTE="TallCakes, post: 165068, member: 107"]this was a truly new seller with no feedback. So I knew going in that I was taking a chance and bid accordingly. The seller sent the wrong tracking number which showed the packaged arrived in another state on Friday; so I was a bit surprised when the packaged arrived here yesterday; and yes sent priority with insurance so the seller can file a claim. But as soon as the box was delivered with that distinctive sound of shattered glass I knew it was bad. There are lots of slivers of glass and I even stuck a tiny piece into my thumb while taking the photos. The top of the stem has fracture lines so it could shatter even more with little effort; tho' the break does allow for the plateau to be carefully balanced atop the pedestal. If one had the inclination, this could be photographed in a manner to NOT show that it's actually destroyed and offered for sale; clearly a deceptively fraudulent maneuver which might get an insurance claim.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with others that it would be nice if eBay allowed buyers to rate the packing (especially on glass items) so future buyers could assess a sellers abilities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
