    I don't know about the courier, try Parcel2Go.com for that.

    Are you sending it in response to an eMail? or an inquiry on eBay? Are they paying through PayPal? If so, I would tread extremely carefully. It is more likely than not to be a scam, so personally I wouldn't send it at all.

    ok. i have actually been advise by my dad not to do it. my thinking is if they submit the payment into my paypal account before i send i have nothing to worry about as i've got my money and they have security with paypal if it doesnt arrive or something.

    Its probably a scam, they will fool you into thinking the funds are in your PP account and they wont be.

    They may even pay you TOO much and ask you to return the balance, less a generous fee. DON'T!!!!
