Soooo.... this just arrived

This was delivered 5 minutes ago.

Bright red box with Ebay all over it.

Open it up to find 6 rolls of tape.

The message basically says that Ebay are creating a range of packaging, (boxes, tape) and they are sharing the first round with sellers.

Seriosuly, as if I'm going to send something off with Ebay all over it - in my opinion it's just something that would attract the eye of thieves.

[*tippy*toes*]

I didn't get tape. I want tape! I want presents too. I like presents. I feel so rejected and left out. I think I might go and eat snails. WAAAHHHHHH

Spoiler

I wouldn't use the tape either. Express satchels stand out enough when safe dropped, without having eBay plastered all over it!

36 rolls Clarry - I'm jealous, LOL.

Actually I was wondering who is getting this promotion - maybe sellers who turn over turn over 10K+ annually? In other words those of us who have to report to the ATO 🙂

Many years ago when Ebay first started I was chosen to be a member of the Sellers Voices programme. Got flown by Ebay to Sydney for the day one of the Freebies was a mouse mat. Somewhat thrashed by now but still usefull unlike many things on Ebay.

Just this morning we received 2 boxes of tape, 36 rolls.

We do not use tape as all out stuff goes out by large letter.

Any parcels go by satchel.

Anybody need some tape? LOL

But they are not Christmas themed ?? they are fast food burger themed ??

[imastawka]

You want fries with that?

Why do we Aussies (oi oi oi) have to have this version ?

Why can't we have access to more sophisticated, less tacky packaging.

What an insult to Oz culture

So much scope in Oz - for example, we could have had amber beverages instead of the US blue snowflakes
