    It states somewhere in the rules of ebay (sorry but I cant find it now - maybe someone else can?) that the postage costs are a guide only and the seller is able to adjust the postage costs on completion of the auction appropriately. The seller has adjusted them for postage to where you live. Did you ask the seller before the auction ended if the postage would be more for where you live?


    not any more unfortunatley, there was another thread on this a week ago, I thought the same.

    the cost on the auction is the price you should actually pay, they are no longer guide prices

    hey all
    I did check argos but none available in the area I could get it from..
    also checked royal mail parcel prices which is a little over £12 for an item of 20 kgs but dunno if that will be anywhere near the weight of the item in question
    I am going to reply to the seller with the reply bleugh suggested will keep you updated
    thanks
    Janice
