My Dirtwerx was $50 to ship airmail (frame only weight 5.5lb in a decent box) from Richie Haney.

Take the negative and find another one

this is an email from them to me.    Let it be known that this frame IS NOT for $70.00. The cost is $140.00 PLUS shipping to the UK. I want to make that very clear.

That seller is trying to reduce his ebay fees by putting half the cost of the frame on the shipping (no ebay fees on the cost of shipping). If you look at how much he's charging to ship just within the USA, it's $70.

It's circumventing ebays rules so if you report it to them, you might get away with it.

You should send on the e.mails to ebay also - he is afterall trying to do them out of their fees - plus more importantly the eejit doesn't seem to comprehend the idea of the whole auction process!!
