She sounds more like a "seller" than a "dealer".
I tend to think of "dealers" as having some professional nouse in terms of
packing properly what they deal in, whereas "sellers" range from
know-nothing about any aspect of what they are doing to knowledgable
semi-pros who do... including how to pack what they deal in properly.
I presume you requested a refund prior to dumping a negative on her?

Subject: [MOPO] Gave my first negative
Mopoers,
I am pleased to announce that I just my first negative fleabay rating. It
was to sweet*tees, who is not a poster dealer, so you probably will never
run into her.
I bought a Shadow pulp from her. She wrapped the pulp in a bag, put it
between two undersized pieces of cardboard (which left the edges
vulnerable), and put it in a padded manila envelope. The item arrived
with massive spine damage, and she would not take a return. USPS laughed
when I inquired about processing a claim, since the packaging was so
lousy.
So, I wasted $40, but at least I got the enjoyment of leaving a negative.
By the way, I find that buying movie posters is much more reliable than
buying pulps. In the pulp world, "excellent" can mean anything from
"excellent" to "magazine sheds like a Golden Retriever." Also, the pulp
sellers seem more likely to be clueless on how to ship things.
