Best of luck to the seller. Ebay doesn't have any rules about maximum postage costs, yet.

You can do whatever you want. I have a 99.98%, 980 positives, 2 negs in 3 years (from idiots) and don't tend to indulge in artificial postage fees like this.

However, I think that this seller can do what he wants and there's no need to "report" it to Ebay.

Well you are defo wrong on that count

Its called fee avoidance

ebay will take action against the seller , and pretty damn quick as they are losing money

Ebay losing money? "things they'll never say".

Anyway, I've been bothered to read the Ebay help and they agree with you:
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/listing-circumventing.html

Circumventing Fees


Members may not use systems or techniques to circumvent, or avoid, eBay fees. Sellers should review the examples below to ensure they're not engaging in any practices that circumvent eBay fees.

Breaches of this policy can result in a range of actions, including:


Listing cancellation
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Limits on account privileges
Loss of PowerSeller status
Account suspension

Spend a few minutes taking eBay's tutorial on Fee Circumvention.
Some Examples Hide

Offers to transact outside eBay - Offering the opportunity to purchase the item or other merchandise outside the eBay online marketplace.

Unreasonable postage or packing costs - Listings with low prices but unreasonably high postage or packing costs.

I was joking. Losing money is one thing that Ebay is very bad at. LOL.

See my previous post, their rules do say that "unreasonable postage fees" are wrong.
