After packing nearly 30k parcels i think i qualify to tell people the truth. This post is to warn other sellers and share information on serial i mean seriously serial scammers that would take advantage of honest sellers. If you get an eBay message that someone is nickpicking, or reporting qty missing etc, have a look at their feedback left for other page and also their location and surname. Certain area and ethinical background are very impatient. Pick the right fight. If this buyer is trigger happy and already left a sea of red feedbacks, just give them a refund and be done with it. Ebay is not going to help you.

I am not one of those people who think race or nationality should never be mentioned under any circumstance. And I do think there are times when it can come into the discussion on ebay.

For example, if I were selling, there are some countries I would not post to and I know very well that there are some sellers on here who are not in the least bit racist but who draw the line at posting to some places. It's because they are high risk, too many transactions go bad.

There are also some countries where I think it is legit to say you have to be careful what you buy. Electrical goods direct from China springs to mind. 

When it comes to selling on ebay, you can see where buyers are located and you can see their feedback given to others. Those 2 factors might lead you to cancel a sale. You don't need to know their race or nationality, location and history should be enough.
