Default The eBay Globa. Shipping Program

I wanted a small camera item from eBay for $6.99, Shipping was $17.49, no taxes were going to be added to this low price, even so this was too much and a deal breaker for me.
I asked the seller if the price for shipping was a mistake he said it was a surprise to him it was that much.
He said he shipped it to them for $5.99, they then shipped it to me for $17.49.
Some items over a certain amount are assessed GST which again is paid by the buyer. Who keeps tabs on the amount supposedly for GST?
I do not buy items on eBay that use the Global Shipping program as they call it.
Can we say RIP OFF?
