I've heard of such practices, but not suffered them. Are they still doing that?
I do advise purchasers to take photos of unopened packages, and for large packages I keep photos of how I packed them. For a large international shipment I would also send photos direct to the buyer.

The biggest problem we have had with Ebay's GSP is they
will sometimes take apart large double boxed shipments,
and then ship them over the pond in their inner box without
any padding.? You know the inner box?? The thing one puts on
the instrument to keep it from getting scratched, and to
keep the packing foam from damaging it?
Then, the item, clad only in its inner protective box,
without padding, gets broken, the customer gets pissed,
we get an undeserved negative feedback, and GSP won't
ship the item back, so we lose the item, the payment, and
our reputation all because GSP thought they could save a
little space on the airplane.
And, no, this hasn't been just a one time thing.? It has
cost us in the tens of thousands of dollars at this point.
