There is set fee for pstage and handling set by the seller. some sellers will reduce the total postage cost if more than one item is bought from them, others have a fixed charge per unit so there is no mail discountig for additional purchases.

Dot combined postage is when you purchase more than 1 item from the same person, they post all items together which will work out cheaper for you rather than pay the full cost for all items posted separately, therefore giving you a small saving on the postage cost.

Some put up items for a very low price and cover their butt with inflated postage.
Oooh look, only ninety nine cents.
Yes, but the postage is $6.99!
But, but it's only 99 cents.
Yeah, that's a bargain. :(

Has anyone actually been able to purchase on gumtree? Every time I knock, there is nobody home, so I give up and stay away.
