I see a lot of high shipping costs on ebay anymore. In my opinion people that attempt to.make money off of shipping costs are not the most trust worthy sellers.

I wouldn't be so quick to condemn the seller, he/she may have used a previous selling template for an item that weighed alot and would have been costly to ship, I know I've done the same thing without realizing it on some of my bottles. If you look at the completed items by the seller all the shipping costs are within the normal range, very common mistake and easy to miss when listing stuff.

1 Light bulb... $54 shipping???. I would have bid on the bulb, but no response to shipping questions... it didn't come to Macon. BUYERS BEWARE at all times.

In the old days, you could avoid paying fees by charging more for shipping and a lot of people did it (ebay had no closing fees for shipping costs). Doesn't work no more.

i agree with epackage . the seller made a mistake . we all make them , any one not selling on ebay does not know all that it takes to sell . try it for a while then you will understand mistakes happen !

Have you file a report to eBay?? Charging an excessive postage charge is a violation against eBay policy!
