I order loads on there and yeah had some odd packaging but I really think delivering in a takeaway bag is just gross, aibu?

I have never used Vinted,but buy from eBay a lot. I have not had any bad experience with packaging,in fact have often had a little card from the seller,sometimes a little lavender bag or a sweet, though these are not expensive items. I do agree about yards of gaffer tape,but understand why,just have to make sure the scissors are sharp! Once I did have a misadventure,as yards of tape on rather small packet meant when I carefully.opened it the garment was stuck to it and I found I had cut it! It was my fault,so I did not complain.
I am all for reusing all sorts of bags within reason.I don't sell on eBay,however.

I've sent a bundle of Superhero action figures in a speculum box before. It was the only sturdy one I could find that was the right size so I liberated it from work. Buyer never complained but it did occur to me it might cause some consternation from the courier!
