If i were ebay i would block all traffic from nigeria. It is unlikely that any transaction from there is legitimate.


Having worked in Nigeria myself (and other African countries), I would say that "most" transactions from there are probably cons, but there are an awful lot of honest, hard working Nigerians too.

Personally, I would be happy to ship to Nigeria but only if the transaction was covered by PayPal and the person agreed to pay for the recorded delivery and insurance.

The main question to ask your self is "why would somebody from Country X want my product?"  For example, Nigeria is an English speaking country that uses PAL TVs and 240v power, so why would someone want a used NTSC 110v A500?
