Postage Gouging

Hi, I bought a smart phone on ebay and postage was the usual $13.40 so when it arrived in a Postpak padded bag without so much as a piece of cardboard to protect the screen I was shocked, actual postage was $2.10 the item cost over $350 and it was sheer blind luck the screen was not smashed, now I want to let the seller know how I feel about both postage and packaging but as the item is as described maybe negative feedback is not the way to go, I have never given a neg feedback before and although I am very angry I think I need some advise on this, thank you

NB: The stamp was marked registered post , large letter and $2.10 all on the same ticket thats why I think total for postage is only $2.10 all inclusive

Registered costs $3.80. It includes $100 cover, but to insure for $360 (if insured), they would have to pay $1.50 per extra hunded - i.e. for an additional $260 value, it would be $4.50, so total cost may have been

 

Stamp - $2.10

Registered - $3.80

Extra cover - $4.50

Packaging - $1.95

 

Total - $12.35


and on top of that another $1.34 to eBay for their final value fee on postage quoted in the invoice.

 

so the quoted price was more than fair....
