RE: All you have to do is look at our political system....

It reminds me of my misfortune: I purchased a vintage Pioneer turntable from a UK seller. It was packed well (or, rather, overpacked - it was wrapped too tightly with a packing tape, and the seller used, instead of foam plastic, empty bobbins (reels) from the adhesive packing tape, one of which was 1mm higher than others, and so the tension between the dust cover and that empty reel was so tight that the dust cover cracked.
If I open a dispute with PayPal, I will have to pay the shipping cost equal to the price of the turntable. When I sent my complaint to the seller, he answered that the deck was packed very well and he could dance on it and nothing bad would happen (!). He said that he'd packed lots of turntable in the same manner and all of them arrived safely. Instead of admitting his mistake or ommission, he said he would never send anything to my country and will even reflect in on his web site. I answered that all international couriers are the same and there have been many complaints against UPS and other carriers worldwide. It is called "blame shifting" - he offers false arguments and does everything to avoid paying adequate compensation. His letters imply "Don't teach me how to pack things - I know better."
