yep, I sell on there as well as on here and off my website all the time too for my cayugas and aussie spots. Duck eggs in general are bad shippers though, especially the calls. One reason I feel is that they are such big eggs and have a lot of weight in there to help with the shaking around. Some on line folks are just crooks, so when you do do an auction purchase, reveiw their feedback, that will tell the tale on the seller pretty quick. If they only have a few feedbacks, I always pass and just buy from ones with a healthy history. Dont be quick to judge for just 1-2 bad feedbacks either, we all put warning on the risk involved in shipping, some buyers just choose to ignore that then blame the seller for all their woes when they dont get a 100% hatch. If an egg sell has several houndred possitive egg sell feedbacks, chances are you can trust them.
I noticed your auction in question only had I thik 6 total. I would wait to be safe, I dont know this person at all mind you, but that's just my rule when buying anything off and on line auction. Give it 3-4 weeks and there will be 100 call egg auctions on
ebay, you can take your choice then.
Another thing to remember on eggs this time of year. WEATHER. If they pass threw an arctic blast on the way too you and freeze, well, they are done for, same in the 100+ temps of mid summer. Eggs are always safer to ship in March threw May when the temps nation wide are fairly mild over all, not bitter cold, and not 200 degrees either
