Yes, I first asked for a refund. She offered to give half of my money
back, but I told her that didn't work for me, since I did nothing
wrong. I then told her I would see if USPS would pay on the insurance
claim. After USPS laughed at the pathetic packaging and sent me away,
I again asked the seller for a refund. I waited four days and heard
nothing from her, so I left the negative.

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.
