I always save and reuse packaging; IMO nothing wrong with that, but then again, I'm from tree-hugging CA and try to recycle as much as I can.

I follow the paypal guidelines--everything under $250 is getting DC and everything over gets a signature. Sorry, but that's the only protection I have as a seller over the "I didn't get it" fraudsters.

I can totally sympathize with the seller--he's probably taken a few hits and wants to make sure it never happens again. As long as the card got there safely and you knew the total cost before you bid, I don't think you have anything to complain about.
