Generally I agree with the comments about the necessity of anti-static packing but otherwise I'm very suspicious of messages like this that are posted without a name and not even a recognizable From address.
If the situation is as bad as you describe then why didn't you post negative feedback instead of neutral?
Just for those of you that are interested, the buyer's feedback rating is 51 and the seller's feedback rating is 1332!
The auction in question appears to be <
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1750732393>.
I think there's more going on here than what this message describes.
