However it is a personal thing, you must do what feels right for you.

that will teacher her!
you where happy with the amount, but are now annoyed ???
why not haggle to bring the price down ?
work out the price of the bag and deduct the stamp and demand a refund ......
or at least do the gracious thing and message her first.
I am not having a go at you personaly, it just seams that the number of people who think so much about being 'stung' for a few coppers is to my humble self amazing.
It is also why (along with other Ebay factors) I no longer sell things on Ebay

I sold an item recently in a similar situation - I charged £2.20 postage but it went as a large letter. I got sidetracked and didnt have a chance to refund the postage difference and the buyer left me neutral feedback saying the top was nice, "shame about the mark up on the postage". A bit harsh, maybe - because if she'd contacted me we could have sorted it out.
In cases like that I'd normally give 4 stars for postage, but wouldn't make any adverse comment.
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough
My postage DSR is 4.6 when I charge exact stamp price only (no packaging and no recorded delivery etc) or sometimes actually charge them less than the stamp price. I've given in and started offering free postage.
