The last time I got a package from Ukraine, the seller put a spent rifle cartridge and a "Russian Warship, Go!" sticker in with his "please leave a 5 star review" note.
This was somewhat affecting, but also felt like the reason my package was bounced back out of the country on first inspection.

@North I once ordered a used ATM pin pad from a Japanese seller and the package included a thank you note along with two beefy TO-220 package BJTs.

@North@chaos.social lately, instead of an origami crane, I've instead received hand drawn pictures of Pikachu along with their hand written thank you note
10/10, would recommend -

@North@chaos.social it happened twice in a row, from two different people!
(I had been hunting for vintage camera lenses on ebay and the ones from Japan were cheap as dirt, even with international shipping) -

@North Lately I've been getting hand-written notes in ebay orders from US sellers. The last one said "thank you thank you thank you for your order!" in big cursive letters. I feel like a lot of small independent american businesses are suffering right now, and buying from them makes a bigger difference than it used to.

@Andres4NY I think that's entirely true. I have received handwritten notes from US sellers, but it seems to kind of depend on what sector they're in. I know that when I ocasionally sell things, I at least try to hand-write a "Thank you" on the packing slip.

@North Or maybe I'm buying from unemployed or underemployed americans for whom ebay as a side hustle is keeping their families fed? Either way, huge difference over the past year imo.

@North I think you forgot a few things for the Japanese package: an extra layer of packaging, under which there is an additional layer of packing, under which, for some reason, exists yet another layer of packaging

@OctaviaConAmore @Canageek @North oh, it happened in Germany too (from Amazon): plastic packaging, around massive bubblewrap, around more plastic packaging. So secure! Inside: a plastic bowl or some silly thing.
