When I've had the good fortune to win an eBay item at a crazy low price, I've told the seller that my winning price was too low, and that I'd send them my max bid after I receive the item and find it to be in good condition. Each time the seller was happy, and I received the item intact and well packed. It's easy to drop $5 or so in an envelope and send it back to them. Cheap insurance to get a mug in one piece.
