It maybe the post office's charge for the insurance.
They might be paper, but they are worth £2999!

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...

How about £14.99 to post two wiper blades?
Like blakep82 I didn't buy.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

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)

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.

Your right that is a very good point that I hadn't thought of! Could leave you quite a bit out of pocket

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.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!
