Selling Toys - Horror Stories & "Happy" Customers

Recently my deluxe Deadpool "arrived" from Amazon in an empty bag. After going round for round with the AI chatbot, I was asked to send a photo of the item. I sent a picture of the empty bag. It took a little bit longer, but I got a replacement sent.
 
People are suspicious of free. When I worked at Starbucks we'd have training days for the new drinks so we'd all know how to make them correctly. Trying to give those drinks away for free to our regulars was met with deep skepticism and suspicion.

I just handed you a drink - why would this one be poison?

So weird.

Mailed a 4oz figure today and the price shot up to $5.97. I'd charged $5.75 and that was with a 20 cent buffer from the previous lowest USPS price of $5.52. That's a huge increase and now I have to go update all my listings.
When I started selling about 10 years ago, I was doing a lot of Basic Mattel WWE. They're not fragile, I could sell individual figures for $10 in a white bubble mailer with around $1.80 postage to anywhere in the country.
