I'm pretty sure he had no leg to stand on, but I paid him $7 (half the difference) as a measure of semi-goodwill. Anyone else have this happen with any frequency?

Could have been an honest mistake. My one and only example. I had a very large item I sold on eBay. Before listing it I went t UPS with the dimensions and weight and got a price. After it sold I took it to UPS and they said they could not ship it even though they earlier said they could and gave me a price. Ended up costing around an extra $150 to ship by special freight. I contacted the buyer explained exactly what happened and asked if they would split the extra shipping with me. They did and we were both happy in the end.

I've had to resort to asking every eBay seller to sandwich the damn card in a toploader between two pieces of rigid cardboard. And about a quarter of them still won't do it.
I really wish that eBay would include "Quality of Packaging" in their Feedback Criteria (1 - 5 Stars). Doing so would force sellers to think harder about protecting peoples' purchases. IMHO, it's much more important than the somewhat meaningless "Communication" criteria they currently have.

WOW, seriously you send sellers shipping instructions and would return a card that arrived as described.
