postage
#11
Wow. It is the seller's responsibility to make sure that they have adequate shipping. If they sent it from their house, then I would question that they were accurate. If they sent it from a post office (from the counter or a meter machine), then I would definitely complain to my local post office and demand an explanation.

There is no way an envelope that size and weight would cost that much, someone screwed up at the post office.
I sent out some fabric to someone in the US and it cost me 1.70. they measured the envelope in the post office to make sure it fit properly in their restrictions.
I wonder if they quoted you an expedited rate which would be more expensive. I'd try asking another post office.

If the envelope is more than 1/4" think it has to go parcel post. They have a cardboard thing that has a slot that the envelope has to pass through easily.
I would ask the e-bay seller for a refund of your postage paid when you tell her what you had to pay.

You can always refuse something that comes postage due.
