They can charge for handeling costs but i believe not to make profit off it. I would report that message they sent.

As a seller I charge the cost of postage plus packaging and handling - which by the way is never more than $1.00 above the actual cost of postage - and is enough to cover the costs in most cases of envelopes and other packaging materials for the small items I sell.

I believe, but someone may correct me if I'm wrong - it is against ebay policy to make a profit from the postage/packaging and handling component of a sale.

And yes, I'd be pretty cheesed off at that price if the actual cost really is around the $20 mark.
