A couple years ago, I walked into footlocker and the guy behind the register sold me a pair of WC IIIs for 90 bucks. I couldn't keep the box tho. Figured he was scheming.Let me ask you...Would you buy a pair of shoes that didn't have a box?
Update for y'all.
USPS label says he paid $10.45
He complained that he had to buy a roll of tape for $3. Like he had to use the whole roll on just my box.
I complained. He wouldn't offer a partial refund.
I have been selling on ebay for more than a decade. I always wrap in shipping paper. I double box if someone requests it for a very expensive pair.
He has 7 feedback, I have 175. I want to see where eBay goes on this.
My argument is this...the picture on the listing had the shoes on top of a perfect, brand new box. Now, because of his shipping...I didn't get that box.
For all of you wondering about the box here is my argument.
If these were going to be some beaters, then I would have gone to footlocker and copped regular KD's for $115. Not $160. You rock a hot colorway a few times and you store them or sell them in a few years.

To sellers who are into shoes it might be, but not all sellers are passionate about what they sell. I've bought shoes without a box or the original box before. I can understand OPs frustration though since it seems to matter to him. Seller can learn to ship in paper or bag at the least, and OP can learn to specify his shipping requirements. One to grow on for both parties...
not sure if ebay will do anything for you though.
Man, that **** is infuriating.
why not just use Brown kraft paper ? 
complaining about buying tape 
didn't know people did that 
The problem is he was charged $17 and that got.
if shipping was free this would be slightly less douche'y.
but still
