Sellers are not allowed to increase the ship cost after the sale is made. Pay from the listing itself in your "my ebay" purchased items. Tell the seller to come here for an explanation if they want it.

No. As already suggested, go to your purchase history and pay for the item. The extra shipping cost should be absorbed by the seller. If you get refunded, you could leave appropriate feedback and star ratings but eBay cannot force a seller to ship the items either. If you receive a cancellation request, you could deny it so the seller won't get the fvf refunded. Good luck
