    If we had the full details then maybe we could make a better judgement...

    This is the point, you ARE making judgement and are not in full possession of the facts. I hate to see people giving advice on FB / DSR's when they do not have all the facts to hand
    Either way the OP has already said the postage was high, blatant fee avoidance and even if you agree with the overall cost the stars are there to mark P&P costs and if you feel ripped off mark them down.

    If you genuinely believe it is fee avoidance, report it to eBay as it is a violation of the seller agreement.
    Here is an example of an item I sold the other day...

    I weighed it and worked out the postage from that weight...
    When I took it to the PO for delivery he said it would go as large letter...
    As I had allowed postage for a packet of the same weight at 2nd class...
    I sent it 1st class instead and refunded 60p so as not to be seen to be profiting from the postage charges.

    I have stated many times that I also refund if postage is cheaper than quoted. There are buyers who would think that because you listed 2nd class and sent 1st you have overcharged, you could have sent 2nd class as advertised and refunded more!
    It may sometimes seem like I can't spell, I can, I just can't type

    I won an item at 99p with high postage which I accepted by bidding. Knock at the door tonight it's been hand delivered. :eek:

    Probably why it was high postage, the personal service :D

    I don't think Rikki has an issue with the postage costs / deliver - mere surprise!

    Well done Murtle some-one who understood what I was saying.

    I opened the door to a man trying to foist a parcel on me, saying 'from eBay'.
    I think he was feeling as uncomfortable as I was questioning. :rotfl:
