did anyone email them? It might have been a simple listing error, he's using calculated shipping so if he mistakenly typed in say 66 pounds instead of 6 pounds (for example) it would have caused this huge rate to display and he might not have noticed. not defending the seller since I don't know them, but I've seen it happen before. =)

I can understand that people who do this are probably businesses and this is what they would charge for tax out of their store. But are these even valid Ebay fees?
Here is another winner: ** expired/removed eBay auction ** Name=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=120074839878&itemcount=4&refw idgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget
Please contact me with your shipping address within three business days of end of auction as defined in eBay's guidelines. Shipping and handling fees are an additional $6.00. Auctions can be combined to reduce shipping and handling at the following rate:First item: $6.00Second item: $5.00Third item: $4.00subsequent items $3.00 each.
Winning bidder to pay by a U.S. POSTAL MONEY ORDER, only (one purchased at the Post Office). Unfortunately, I only have a personal PayPal account and cannot afford to pay their outrageously high fees, so under the rules eBay and PayPal have imposed, PayPal is no longer an optional payment method.
