You pay it for every purchase you make. or the seller is selling at a loss. Wake up.

It's just that the average seller isn't silly enough to enumerate costs.

That would be my feeling too.

The postage sounded fairly cheap, just a pity the seller told you  all the details.

But the fees have to be in there somewhere, either in the price of the items or the postage, otherwise the seller is losing out.
