A lot of sellers are terrified of getting any negative feedback or triggering an investigation and will go overboard to correct any mistake.
One time I bought a transparent neon orange 4L lightsaber bar that turned out to be a broken antenna of identical length, and the seller threw a buck at my paypal even though the part was only a quarter. In the last ten years, I've only had one actual problem with a seller, and one seller who just seemed kind of incompetent in general or was maybe just having a really rough few weeks at the time, but every other transaction has been either perfectly smooth, incorrect with instant correction, or above-and-beyond where the seller intentionally included extra parts for free, either based on the types of stuff I was ordering or just whatever. One seller sent me a bunch of printed pieces just for fun, and another seller sent me one of these trees in addition to correcting a matter of less than fifty cents.
I've heard a lot of people get candy with their orders from European sellers.
