To be honest i know its a tad extreme will probs sort something out with the 
winning bidder. better than paying 15 notes and a further 20 to include 
mandatory insurance that the ones from us and hong kong are costing

to be fair though i dont see the problem. You just take account of it when 
you bid. Ebay getting expensive and i think its fine to charge higher 
postage.

Time to take it to the post office.  Petrol to get there.

We all know he is trying to save a few pence on ebay fees, and good for him, 
but ebay cannot prove that it is not a fair charge for shipping so they will 
not act.

Just bid on the total amount - including postage.  What does it matter to 
you if ebay gets a smaller cut?
