No, they are not the norm. I think you are asking for trouble shipping any
large item (like a monitor, or a Leafscan ;-) without the original shipping
container and packing, or even shipping them at all. If the seller is a
professional, than you stand a good chance of getting it packed correctly.
If the seller is a private person, then your odds decrease substantially
IMO.
I have had over 300+ transactions on eBay, and have very very little
shipping trouble at all. I do not buy monitors over eBay, unless they are
from a local seller. The only damaged item I had was an Epson 3000 that was
packed incorrectly, but FedEx did pay for the damages with no problem at
all. The next 3000 I bought locally.
