eBay Packaging Gone Wrong

Old Sweat Pants, Pizza Box and Milk Jug Used To Wrap Purchases

What do old sweat pants, a pizza box (with leftover crusts) and and old milk jug have in common? They are all packaging items used to wrap up eBay purchases. One unsuspecting purchaser eagerly tore open his delivery of his newly bought G4, only to discover it was encased in an old pizza box. Another person opened his XBox to find it wrapped with a pair of dirty sweat pants, amongst other unsavoury paraphenalia.

Whether this is just poor taste, someone's idea of a joke or a way to save money on packaging materials - whatever the reasoning behind these packaging choices, it is in a word: GROSS!
