Weren't you ever told not to look a gift horse in the mouth?

I must admit, having seen the boxes now, I can't help but think they look pretty garish in comparison to the designs available in the US. 

eBay's Official AU store (pointed out to me by another seller on FB 🙂 ) http://stores.ebay.com.au/eBayAustraliaShippingSupplies?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

Safe or inviting trouble and/or grabbing the attention of theives or not, those boxes wrapped in that tape.... Not really appealing to me as a seller, at any rate 

I am not sure that as a buyer I would want those boxes turning up on my doorstep.

I prefer not to differentiate between my ebay parcels and others that I get.....anonymity is safer  in my book.

This one reminds me of a fast food burger box

If you need to double box when packaging though might work for some sellers

Yes, I like my anonymity too.

Where or how I buy my online stuff is none of anyone elses business.

And I do believe they are more at risk of theft as they scream "consumer goods" rather than a plain box which could be anything.

Lol, maybe I'll buy something from their store just to see if they message "you want fries with that?"

Just on the subject of packaging, and a possible note to eBay if they're reading this thread for feedback on their new venture...

If someone would make a generic poly satchel with a clear, attached A5 document window (like the AP 500g satchels, just without all the branding and writing everywhere), I would be so happy.
