I Took the seller to task and explained to her that this was baseball memorabilia that needed to be shipped properly. She understood and refunded two of my earlier purchases and one that I had paid her for that she was still yet to ship. The final one arrived packaged the same way, but there was no damage. Some people don’t learn. I sell on eBay all the time and I over use bubble wrap and cardboard and other shipping materials to make sure that the things I ship arrive intact.

I don't like to see the destruction of anything, regardless of value.
We shouldn't have to do this, but anytime you suspect a seller of using an ESUS or if you see a very small S&H fee on a lower priced item, maybe it's best to inquire how securely they plan on shipping the piece. If the shipping cost is an absolute pittance, especially when it comes to a low value item, it makes me suspicious that they're not going to ship it properly. On the other hand, when I see free shipping on a pricier piece, I don't feel the need to be as leery. It's strange how that works, but everyone here likely understands.
