Extortionate postage prices?

Wanted to buy something on ebay today. Would cost approx £7 to post. She is charging £60 postage! I messaged her and she seemed reasonable and just clueless, saying it's heavy etc.

After a few messages today I realise she is just trying to make more money and knows full well it won't cost her that, although she has got collection as an option which is what made me think maybe it was a mistake.

Is there any way I can report her to ebay for ridiculous postage charges? If she had just been straight with me I wouldn't worry as much. But she has wasted my time sitting there looking up how much it weighs and how much it will cost etc.

they don't avoid fees any more on postage - you now pay 10% FVF on P&P too, but postage and packing is just that, not for profit.

£60 is ridiculous! I use hermes .. it would cost £7.48 for a 6kg parcel. Royal Mail is £20.25 ..
