8 kg end mill?

That`s not bad compared to some.I have seen =A325.00 P+P on a small endmill.Two sellers are particularly bad,Lollipop and Mistap.I have complained to Ebay about them several times and nothing happens although they are circumventing Ebat fees.I stopped buying from Mistap before he started doing this because he would not consolidate postage on multiple purchases.He charged me over fifty quid in postage for a few items because he reckoned I had got a bargain. Mark.

Yep, this was lolipop1023.

I wonder if it might be worth complaining to the credit card company? Probably not, as the insidious PayPal layer in the transaction rather insulates them, and allows them to say "you shouldn't have paid". Also, eBay would probably blacklist you. Maybe the postal regulator has some powers. Obviously, in the end, it's down to us to shun them.

Name and shame!

As with all 'bay purchases you need to look at the total price when bidding/buy. Low sale price and high postage is a common way of keeping ebay fees down for the seller.

It's got a lot worse relatively recently (a year or so) I assume more or less coinciding with fleabay roughly doubling their fees and making Pimpal compulsory as well as dead easy for the buyer but expenses charged to the seller.

It's all contrived to make me much less likely to use fleabay and from their financial results I infer I'm not alone.

I've looked at eBid.net and although the charges are almost nil, it's got a long way to go before it competes with fleabay on breadth or quantity. Shame.

I note that the item's postage is advertised thus :- "Postage:£17.99Royal Mail 1st Class Standard."

Would this be regarded as a mis-representation of the facts if the actual Royal Mail costs were much lower.
