Problem is you agreed to the costs on purchase.

The time to querie postage costs is before buying.

 

I would message the seller and inform them that you would like to keep buying from their stores but want a part refund of postage before buying again.

Very difficult to enforce O.S. seller to action.

Did query postage cost in the begining took his word what is postage cost only to find out when parcel arrived the postage cost was much less.

Have tried to do another purchase and he still wants to charge inflated postage cost

Obviously he wanted a certain amount in total for the item so if the postage was only $47.46 the item price would probably be $100 more. I don't ever look to see how much the postage is, I have got the item safely delivered for a total price I agreed to so cost of individual components is immaterial.

 

You have not been ripped off, you got exactly what

You can leave low feedback stars based on being charged above actual postage though.

Any time postage is more than $20-40 from Asia it should ring alarm bells though.
