[WWI] ot: Ebay shipping costs

[Magnus Berggren]

I agree. It´s not that I didn´t know about the shipping in advance, but then 
at least I would expect decent service for my money. P&P should be at cost, 
and I wouldn´t mind if it was a quid up or not, but £12 for a jiffybag and 
£1.45? It´s ridicolous.
