You can also leave feedback about the seller's packaging practices. If he starts getting negative feedback, people will think twice about ordering from him...he may lose sales...he may get his act together. I always look at the feed back and take into consideration any negative comments before bidding.

He responded to the case this morning.
"Send it back,I will refund the minute I receive it...no compensation...I paid $350 and am loosing as it is...send it back for a refund..."
I responded that I am sorry he lost money on the deal. But, that is not the issue being discussed. The issue is the fact that he chose to do such a poor job of packing the vintage, collectable item that he described as being in immaculate condition that it was damaged in transit. It was not as he described it when I received it.
I don't want to return it. I DID get a great deal. I do feel like I am being a little greedy, but his lack of care, rudeness and unwillingness to take responsibility are frustrating.

Yes, you need to file a complaint with Ebay and let them know about the seller. I bought a featherweight and it came with all sorts of damage. Via email to the seller, they tried to make light of the damage. So, I filed a complaint with Paypal and got my money back. And I told the seller if he wanted the machine back, please make arrangements for pickup. Haven't heard back from him. Machine is still sitting in the box that wasn't closed waiting for him! Yeah, I'm still mad about it.

It wasn't EBAY's problem but they will try to fix it if you send them the pictures just like you did here. I had a Spartan that wasn't packed very well and the seller had insurance on it. So by the time it was done I got the machine for nothing even tho the bottom was broken. I tried to glue it, but the glue I used was not the right kind. Will be looking for some heavy duty mix together stuff from the auto body store when I go to Minot next. Otherwise she is a pretty little girl. Sews really nice too. And leave negative feedback about the packing and how rude he was.

File a claim with ebay that it was damaged in shipping and that the seller is not being cooperative. You should receive SOME sort of credit for the damage. A new drip pan would probably be in the $30-$40 range. I'm not sure, you can google that. I received a machine in similar packing from a seller. I wonder if they're cousins! LOL. Except mine came with a coffee filter box:< I did file a negative feedback to warn others. My machine wasn't as damaged as yours. But, it was scratched. I wasn't happy and you should at least leave negative feedback about their lack of packing and rudeness.

I'm so sorry that you have had these negative issues with the seller. He sounds like a rude mean man and others need to be aware of his selling/shipping tactics.
I like your name...Little Bit...that is what I named mine and she was born in my birth year 1950!!
