As I understand it, shipping insurance will cover loss or damage, but not transplanted contents. Short of actually filming the packaging AND physical shipping of the item (which even then probably wouldn't be enough for ebay), how can one as a seller defend against this most sinister scam?
For the record, I have recently been the victim of this twice in the past month, on top of 3 non-paying bidders. I don't sell anymore like I used to, but it appears ebay has really devolved into the wild west. What can be done?

No clue what the color is going to be like and really prob too long, BUT too good to pass up. I'd pay that at a thrift store just to flip in 5 milliseconds.

 

EBAY - Paul Stuart Orange/Pink/Cinnamon Silk/Linen/Wool Sportcoat- 36R

 

Wow, Brian! That is an awesome price! icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

As promised here is the 100% Cashmere Bijan Coat color seems to be black to me, dual vent I picked up over the weekend.  The tag does not have the size but the pit to pit is 21". 


Also most of the buttons are chipped and one button is cracked other than that I don't see any holes or issues.

Hey guys, so as you guys already know, today was a good day for me. bigstar[1].gif

 

Guess what? I went to a trade meet with my boy, Troika, and my day got better!

 

He hooked me up with the following.

So the Dunhill didn't fit him. So available for trade. It's a slim 17 33/34.

 

On the inside of the collar is a bit frayed. It's not noticable when you are wearing it. (Click to show)

 Chester Berrie?  I really prefer Chester Berry?  Also, the jacket is made in Italy, certainly not Chester Barrie.

The jacket in question is actually by Chuck Berry. Are the George Foreman pants still available?
