Well I bought a HP 9845B from a German seller,

Sh** why can't they pack classic computers in a decent way.
I'm getting very disappointed in epray, every time I find a nice
bargain the
destroy it by shipping it the wrong way.
Surely eBay isn't to blame for that?
They are, at least partially. I recently received a motorcycle
front-end assembly that was thrown loose into a box with brake rotors
and bolts tossed in as well, forks undrained, and the fork caps loose in
the threads. Hilarity ensued.

Per Ebay's complaint "resolution", I ended up having to properly pack
and ship at my own expense to obtain a refund - for the sale price, not
including the original shipping charges.
I ended up netting about a $425 refund on the initial $560 expense.
In a lot of cases the cost of return shipping, plus the time to properly
pack and ship, would make the "refund" a negative-sum proposition. You
can bet your sweet bippie that the Ebay seller knows that.
