I don't know if it would help my case or not, but when I buy something expensive from Ebay I take a close up video of the sealed package, labels and tape especially, and then film myself opening it without ever letting the package leave the shot. I have never gotten burned (knock on wood) so have never had to do anything with the video, but it might come in handy if someone ever sends me an 87 Topps Jim Gantner instead of what I bought. Also important, in the case of getting burned, would be to keep every piece of the package to pair with your video evidence. It might not hold up but it would be a hell of a lot better than having nothing or solely the testimony of a friend or family member.

From someone who got burned like this, this is a very sound practice. Another is to open the package in the presence of the post office personnel. I had a three month battle to recoup almost $5k because I received an empty package. It wasn't settled until the post office manager wrote an affidavit attesting to the incorrect weight.
