The worst postage costs I've seen on Ebay was for those cheap MP3 players from China. The postage was typically ?12-16 per player, but then they suddenly went up to over 50 quid! For that much postage, I'd want the player in a golden box and delivered to my door by a minor celebrity at the very least. The postage for those has gone back down the last time I looked anyway.
"excellent, postage - bit pricey
Reply by goldfoot666: thanks for your custom; postage is stated on all items, too pricey - don't bid"
"great item! but ?1 for standard 1st class? bit expensive! Love the patch
goldfoot666: thanks for pos f/back mate. all auctions state postage so people know b4 bidding"
A buyer that posted neutral feedback:
" slow, yet cheap and well packaged
Reply by goldfoot666: Posted day after payment, out of my hands, thanks for neutral feedback newbie"
The only negative feedback:
" S***t doesn't work, lucky it only cost ?3!!
Reply by goldfoot666: Item worked when I sent it, must be you that doesn't work (PS sh*t is 4 letters)"
Personally I wouldnt buy from this guy, as hes clearly making money from the postage, so even if you win an auction for ?1, he then "secretly" adds say ?5 to himself via postage costs, so in fact you paid ?6.
Even though he lists the postage costs, its his poor excuse, but he is right though, people shouldnt bid if they arent willing to pay the postage costs. And hes arrogant, thats a deterrent in itself.
Thats why I keep an eye on them. Ususally they don't get bid as high as others and the overall price can be bargain on some occasions.
Also sometimes get some good bargains when people put things in the wrong category, not so many people then find that item and bid so the price is low.

Pretty much every business factors some of its overheads into the final cost of what they sell.
By lowering the price of the item and raising the P&P, the seller's final value fee is lower (since the fee doesn't take into account P&P). Ebay, wanting to maximise its profits, frowns upon this practise.
Personally, I just find it to be very greedy. I don't use ebay anymore because I'm sick of all the chancers selling copies of Bubbler for ?200, and charging postage fees four times higher than they need to be. Whenever I used to sell stuff on eBay - I only ever charged at cost for P&P. If nothing else, it's more likely that someone will bid for your item if the P&P is low, so these greedy b*stards are just shooting themselves in the foot.
Its low value items (under ?5) that are hardest hit by ebays fee structure.
If I am selling mags on ebay I usually charge ?2 p&p. The actual p&p is probably around ?1.00 - ?1.50.
If buyers pay with paypal I can't avoid paying fees on the paypal payment as it includes whatever p&p I charged.
As Ebay own paypal and have it integrated into their system they get their fees twice it seems to me.
