As taken aback as I am from dealing with this "scrapper troll" I have actually appreciated all feedback positive and negative. I can assure you that my listings were not intended as "fee avoidance" or "against the spirit of ebay" they were simply a result of sloppy listing from a novice ebay seller. I have taken the time this morning to finalise the updates of all of my listings based on this threads feedback. Prices and postage have been changed to reflect simple delivery with signature and prospective buyers are now instructed to message me before checkout if they want any extras e.g insurance at their own expense. Well done ebay community.

I hope you value the following, well-intended and constructive feedback...

@P&H for a single banknote should be based on stamp cost, envelope, any other packaging that may be used to protect it, registered post cost and insurance - which really should not be an optional extra on expensive items. Registered is $3.50, and insurance is $1.50 per $100 in excess of the first $100, even if we are being generous with packaging and handling costs, most people will still see $20 for a note or notes as a bit much, except for maybe the ones you've priced @ $800 (7 x $1.50 insurance = $10.50 in insurance, plus $3.50 reg., still leaving $6 for packaging and stamps)

I am glad to see your listings were updated to inform buyers of your choice not to combine postage, and perhaps not combining it is a strategy to deter people from multiple purchases for reasons of your own, or you intend to post all items individually, but the OP of this thread is not alone in their attitude towards sellers who will not combine P&H. This issue likely wouldn't have cropped up at all if not combining was common practice, but the OP expected it because it tends to be something of an anomaly when a seller won't combine without good reason (some sellers can not combine, due to items being stored and shipped from different locations, but if logistics aren't preventing you from combining postage, people will generally see it as postage piracy).
