Fortunately the seller admitted that he was at fault as there was no packing inside the box and he refunded me my money.
Bought my white featherweight on Ebay a while back and made sure I told them how to pack them. I have bought several machines off ebay and each time I have sent the seller a message on how to pack. Explained to them, that I didn't think they were a child. But it's alot of money, and I would like it to arrive in good shape. I have been very successful so far.
