    Yes, send her a message that you misunderstood. Also, when the package comes check what the actual cost of mailing is vs. what you're being charged. A few bucks for a "handling" and "packaging" fee is standard, but any more than that and I'd make sure she knew I was displeased.

    So right. Check the postage when it arrives and if there is a big difference contact her and let her know you are unhappy. If she doesn't work with you leave here bad feedback. I don't mind paying shipping and a little bit more for their time, but don't try to overcharge me.

    :shock: OH MY... Please contact the seller and see why she thinks it will cost so much and if she is willing to adjust ?

    If she ( and I say she just because, not because I know who it is ) is not willing to work with you , then in your comments you can say shipping was HIGH and I believe there is another area in feedback that you can mark her down for the shipping cost.

    Keep us posted

    You need to contact the seller. Ebay no longer allows sellers to charge those ridiculous prices. I am a seller (not fabric) but I can tell you that's waaayyyyyyy too high!!!
    I buy lots of fabric on ebay and have never paid even close to 21.00 and sometimes I've bought up to 15 yards!!!

    You can't always see the postage price on the package. I use online shipping and it isn't on the labels.

I always just think how much more fabric I could have gotten for the shipping!
    Flat-rate envelopes are 4.95- flat-rate boxes are 10.40 or something like that.

    There is an option to ask the seller to adjust the total before you pay. I have never paid that much and buy many things on ebay.

    I hope the seller gives you some money back rather than pocketing it. Ouch!

    If you haven't already, please contact the seller and ask if there has been a mistake made in the shipping calculation... see if she will adjust the fee.
