I don't like causing trouble for anyone but I just felt everyone should be aware of this seller.

Look at the ridiculous postage he has on some of his items including this deluxe Warpath.

Just don't want to see some unsuspecting soul fork out several hundred dollars for a widely available toy.

Is that against EBay policies? Because I'm not paying $300 for shipping.

Jelze do you actually need a Warpath? I can hook you up, I have a spare loose but complete one kicking around somewhere.

I already got one, thanks :) What I was trying to say is that I'd never pay $300 for shipping, period.

When looking at it from the .com version the shipping is pretty reasonable. Wonder if there is some sort of conversion error?

It's showing the price to ship to Ireland from Pueblo Colorado. You can change the postage calculator and it'll show what it is to your area.

Exactly. Shipping within the US is $5.95. The high price you're seeing is for international express shipping from Colorado to Ireland (with delivery in 4-5 business days). International shipping costs a lot more than domestic shipping, especially when it's EXPRESS shipping and it's traveling overseas.

The seller clearly states the following:

I WILL SHIP INTERNATIONAL WITH TRACKING ONLY WHICH MEANS GLOBAL EXPRESS. THIS IS NOT CHEAP. Please wait for an invoice before sending payment for accurate pricing.
