As a bit of an ebayer myself, I have to point out, that anything paid for by Paypal must be sent recorded. If you don't, buyers can just report
you to paypal for not sending it. Paypal ask you for proof that it got there, if you don't have any, they refund automatically, taking the money
from your Paypal account 
Don't ask how I know
Anyway, that might be a reason for the price raise for P+P on most items on ebay recently...
if you don't like the postage don't buy it.
thats how i does it
How about £14.99 to post two wiper blades?
Like blakep82 I didn't buy.
Alot of people charge alot of postage and sell the item cheap so they can avoid the ebay charges.
I don't see the problem, I always look at the total cost when buying from ebay!
You decide the maximum your going to pay inc P&P and that's what you bid! (usually in the last 5-10 seconds of the auction)

I have reported a few things for rip off postage and ebay do seem to work quickly at removing things. I wont say what i reported incase it was someone on here (locost related) but the small items they were selling were a buy it now price 99p and p&p was £19 and it took ebay 2 hours to remove them after i reported it.

Which works fine until there is a dispute. Where only get the cost of the item back not the postage.
But I agree you have to add them when working out whether the item is worth a bid.
I think I've found
another. I realise a gearbox is heavy, but £75?!!!! The damn thing only costs that much!
Seems fair to me. You find somebody cheaper for what's probably 60kg.
