I ship books that I sell on eBay via media mail, and for fear of dampness, I wrap the holy hell out of 'em. (I warn the buyers that they'll have to go through several layers of plastic.) They're usually inside six or seven plastic bags, then a gallon Ziploc, and then the box. Now I'll get to put tape around each layer.

I ordered a rosary from Canada on eBay and the package arrived empty. The seller sent me another rosary to compensate and she wrapped it VERY well in a plastic bag with tin foil overlapped with about 20 rotations of duct tape in a padded bag lined with extra padding. The bag arrived fulled opened and a note from the customs / drug inspections saying they opened it.

What a surprise they must have had. Expecting drugs and finding a rosary.

Better start putting some newspapers or paper towels on before the plastic unless you want those turkeys to sweat.

I didn't know you were an ebay'er. That's four HAT ebay'ers I know of.

I've had good luck and pitiful luck with books. Timing. . . it's all in the timing.
