Thank you all for your quick response.
I have to say I am of an age where it is the principle, when somebody lists something and says that it will be sent Special Delivery and you pay that price I expect it to be sent that way. I imagine the difference in money is only a pound or so, but that is not the point.
I sent the email through Ebay so I am sure it has been received but I will wait and see what happens over the weekend.
If I do not hear anything by then I will consider your replies, some of them quite appeal to me.0 -

The introduction of Detailed Seller Ratings on the site earlier this year allows us to identify clearly those sellers who are consistently rated poorly by buyers for postage & packaging charges. As a result, we’ll shortly be introducing changes to the way that we display search results based on Detailed Seller Ratings for postage & packaging charges.
For the vast majority of sellers, this will mean that your items will continue to be featured as normal in search results.
However, those sellers who consistently receive the lowest scores on postage & packaging costs will receive considerably reduced visibility in default search results by appearing much further down the list of items. This will apply to sellers whose Detailed Seller Ratings for postage & packaging are 3.9 or below, which accounts for roughly 0.5% of all sellers on the site.
This small group of sellers are responsible for a hugely disproportionate number of buyer complaints about overcharging for postage & packaging, and taint the vast majority of good sellers who buyers agree are charging fairly.
We will be introducing these changes during the week beginning December 17th, after the main Christmas trading period is over, and we encourage all sellers to continue to review their postage and packaging charges to make sure these are as fairly priced as possible.
We expect to make further changes to the display of search results to protect buyers in 2008, including extending the use of Detailed Seller Ratings to other areas of concern for buyers.
