Auction Houses and their shipping/handling costs

[vintagehofrookies]

so I just got in the mail an almost $1K card from Clean Sweep. It was a pc that was shipped in just a card saver then bubble mailer, nothing else, no cardboard, bubblewrap or other hard material protecting the card, just the card saver and bubble mailer (and it was only shipped first class as well)! Being what I would consider a pretty rare card and paying almost $20 for s+h, I was a little disappointed in the AH lack of protection for something I paid them a grand for. Thankfully the card arrived without instance but there are so many things that could have happened to a card that has no issues with the exception of being trimmed, so any crease/bend would have just ruined it. I don't know but for $20 I would expect a little better shipping + handling for my purchases. /rant
