I don't think there were any dents or gouges, prior to shipping, at least not beyond normal stone chips etc.
If you take the broken saddle, and location of the dents on the downtube and the seat tube, IMO it looks like something heavy was stacked on top of box, but because the more rigid sidewalls didn't extend above the frame/wheels, the frame took the full weight. This meant that was jammed down onto the axle/bolts of front wheel, denting downtube. Seat tube, as mentioned earlier, explained by a loose rear wheel.

Maybe I’m not cut out for the harsh, cold, baron wastelands of the the free market which is lfgss bst
But I’d like to think if I sent something to someone and they asked for 15% off having received something that had been damaged in transit. When I was tasked with sending securely, albeit uninsured, i would simply take it on the chin.
It’s not like someone forced a European to list a complete bike on London fixed gear single speed, so maybe a little more care in packing should have been prepared for
I mean the person could take their money and hightail it out of here if they wish, the buyer done a bank transfer and didn’t ask for insurance. I’m not privy to the dms, maybe there was more detailed pics sent which showed the dents and gouges in a less favourable manner than the , rather lovely looking light room photos which make it hard, if not impossible, to see.
But the overall behaviour? that’s not cricket
