Ecxessive postage quotes

[nick_75au]

What is with the ridiculous postage quotes on sellers items, I  want to by some car parts from europe, Im in australia, cost of parts 93 euros, shipping 284 euro,

EBAY sort out the postage policy

71 euro postage for a 4 euro part , then pay GST on top as well. why bother having an international marketplace

In this case the seller cobined all componets and shipped them for a single item, the low cost items were less than 0.5 Kg and would have fitted in an A5 padded bag
