No breach of consumer codes by eBay in your above mentioned scenario.
The fees are clearly shown in eBay but I am guessing like many you didn't read the instructions first.

PayPal fees on a $200 payment (presuming there was no extra for postage) would be about $5.50 (ball-parking most figures for the sake of ease 
), eBay's fees should have been around $22 (again, presuming no postage, since it was available for pick-up), so that would total under $30.
It was showing as $16.35 for postage to me, so if someone had it posted, that might add another couple of dollars to the total, depending on where the buyer was located, so might put it over $30. A subtitle was used (it just said the original price of $250), so let's say $1.50 for that presuming no promotions were used to get it cheaper, and we're looking at maybe around $35, give or take depending on any fees on postage, but that would be between eBay and PayPal together. (It was listed in a single category and there's been no other listings or sales, so no fees for anything like that).
The only other thing I can think of to bring it over $40 is a postage label being purchased through eBay.
