I contacted the buyer and he said he would discount all the postage costs, combine and send everything in a 3kg express post satchel for $14.80 (what a wonderful seller!)

I was impressed that anyone could fit a jacket, a top, a pair of pants and a pair of boots into one 3kg bag as they are not all that large, from memory.

I was wondering, does the express satchel come with tracking, as if it doesn't, wouldn't the seller be in some trouble if things went missing?

I agree with you that free postage is not free, so it would be better to be listed as postage included but ebay probably like the sound of 'free'. Must think it pulls in more buyers.
