Chill out man. We're having a discussion here. I'm not calling you anything. If you read my post it clearly states:

I haven't called you racist or anything. Can't we just act like grown ups and continue with the discussion?

Also, don't eBay sellers wait to get money before shipping an item out? I'd sell 100 items to known scammers after they send me money.

I know what you're implying. Bordering on racist=racist.

Actually it's a brit calling an Irishman a racist more or less for no reason. But I'll get over it.

I'm not calling you anything. I'm saying having those views can be considered that way by some.

OK you're forgiven.
Anyway it's a shame Ebay is known for Nigerian scammers. In the end I think Ebayers are only trying to play it safe if they chose not to post to Africa.
Whether it's right or wrong no one wants to be ripped off.

I'm with Niode on this one. I'm sorry Youngie but you definately come across as very narrow minded with seriously flawed logic. Anyway, back on topic, So I managed to get this newbie seller to understand that RMA signed-for cannot be used to ship as heavy an item as an xbox console. He is going to ship via Fedex, more expensive obviously, but at least I've always had good experience in the past with that courier company and I'm sure the package will arrive safely, unless off course those pesky nigerian scammers happen to hijack the Fedex delivery vehicle. lol

Maybe. But I'm not the only one by a long way with this logic...
