Easyjet baggage costs

I have just done a search for flights on the flightchecker, easyjet states that checked baggage booked online is £9 per bag each way so if we book in 2 bags that is £36 in total? However when I have then used the link to easyjet in order to book the flights it charges £56 for 2 bags, am I doing something wrong???

    A friend has just booked two tickets to the South of France and paid around £26 for one checked suitcase.
    Check on the Easyjet site, not elsewhere

    It varies depending on route - for example for Edinburgh to Luton it's £9 per bag, for Edinburgh to Tenerife it's £23 per bag.

    Not only does it vary according to distance, but the prices are going up for summer 2012. For domestic routes it will be £10 per bag. EasyJet are getting to be as underhand as Ryanair.

    easyJet charges for checking-in luggage. Costs vary by route and start at £9 for a bag weighing up to 20kg.

    Thanks for the info, have now realised it costs more as we are travelling out of the UK, all the same by the time we have checked in 2 suitcases and 2 lots of ski carriage it has cost us an extra £156!!

    I find it often cheapest to use BA when taking sports equipment
    They no longer allow it free but the last time I went you could take it as part of your bag allowance
