axiomsense - I have to admit, when I first read the post I thought, OH. NO !!!  Now they want us to gift wrap things. #$%@ buyers !!! Once I got out of jaded, grumpy ebay seller mode and thought a bit more about it, I have to say it would be a great idea for some sellers. Ebayers need to be inovative and provide great service to stay viable and the gift wrapping idea could be a real bonus for gift type sellers. Its nice to see some constructive, well worded and thought out ideas on the forums. We tend to get bogged down in negativity at times. 

PS- welcome to the boards. I look forward to any other interesting thoughts you have to share.
