I just won a lot of 8 ashtrays and the guy sent them to me in a large bubble mailer!! Of course one was broke and a few chipped. I didn't even bother with the guy, I didn't want to hear the "you didn't pay for insurance" line. Its a wonder this guy can even turn on a computer!

Since I sell a lot on eBay and buy frequently also, I recently decided to seperate my buying and selling into 2 different accounts. Now if I need to leave a negative for something I won I can do it without hesitation or ruining my main selling account.
All you need is a second email address to open a second eBay account. Ebay feedback can be next to impossible to keep perfect so you have to have a backup ready.
