While all of what you say is true, it's also true that no matter what was is content of a mutual exchange between EBayers, there is no excuse racist outbursts. In a similar way there was no excuse for Mel Gibson's racist outburst when stopped for drunk driving by the Malibu police force.
The best that can be hoped is that it was alcohol talking, not the actual person(s) concerned.
