Seller wants more.

I have bought two items listed by the same seller on ebay and asked the seller could they combine the postage costs for me. Instead of £6.05 they have invoiced me for £7.71. Is there anything I can do?

    1.Ask them why it costs more to send one package instead of two.It could be the weight difference puts one package in a different pricing band
    2.Pay the original amount through your account on Ebay which should still have the original postage

    Ask them to send an invoice for the correct amount.
    Probably just a typo, or worked it out wrong on their calculator.

    The items sold cheaply so wondering if they are trying it on with me. Will ask them to double check the amount. But whats happens if they do not alter it?

    But if they combine postage and refuse to pass the savings onto you don't forget to mark their seller stars appropriately.
