Seller wants more money for shipping.

[wahinewinna]

I purchased an item on Ebay.  Carefully checked the shipping charges, $17.00.  Decided to buy.   Now the Seller is emailing me asking me for for $43.00 MORE to ship to me.  Can I hold the Seller to the posted shipping charge?

I don't know how to reply to the people who left comments so I am thanking this via my original message, and will use the wording suggested by Madonna.  I didn't think I needed to pay the extra shipping but needed to make sure I was in the right to refuse the additional postage requested.   Thank you again.

I contacted the Seller and gave them the reply that was suggested.  The Seller turned around this morning and cancelled the sale and refunded my money.   Is there a way I can make them ship me my purchase?   How do I contact Ebay to report them for this unethical practice?

Right now, although I still want the item, I'm focused more on principle.  Thank you for any suggestions.
