Default Is this Common for Ebay?

I purchased a 93 3" dual muffler for $29.99
Delivery fee was $27.99

I paid both through paypal.

The muffler arrives at my house and I pay another $19.40?

Am I missing something?

No..go back a re-read the the auction ..read the fine print of the seller...Maybe a customs charge if you bought it from the US

Yeah, Depending on who it was shipped through. UPS is the MOST EXPENSIVE for brokerage fees, then comes FedEx!!

I ALWAYS ask the seller to ship USPS. 90% of the time, it comes through without ANY FEES, when it does, it's a $5.00 "brokerage fee" plus applicable taxes!!

"Brokerage Fees" is the amount the company charges YOU to bring the product through customs(paperwork and all)!
