paid with ppal, but they are no pal of mine. the last claim took forever to settle.
That's why I never keep a paypal balance and I always pay with a credit card via PayPal. A few years ago I had to make a claim - it was an obvious fraud case where an ebayer had sold stuff to dozens of people and then gone missing - closed the account when the negative feedback started rolling in. PayPal "investigated" for several weeks. They were doing nothing and wouldn't respond to my emails. Finally, I called my credit card company and explained the situation to them and they cancelled the charge. Miraculously, the very next day PayPal remembered that I exist and sent me a nasty gram complaining that I had reversed the charges on my card!
It's amazing how many people in this world are just plain stupid. There's no other way to say it. When you can't be bothered to find a box that a uke will fit in with some packing (crumpled newspaper if nothing else) you shouldn't even be offering to sell stuff.
And, having worked in a grocery store many moons ago, I know that those big cardboard cases that tissue paper comes in are about the weakest form of corrugated cardboard to be found. They're just about strong enough to keep the packages of tissue from spontaneously avoiding each other - because tissue paper is light and pretty much damage proof.
If you don't get your money back, post negative feedback containing a link to those pictures...

I think a "packing job" implies there was packing used in the process.That has to be the worst packing job I've ever seen.
. Would have been safer putting stamps on the uke itself. At least the handlers would have known not to mangle.
