I'd point out that S/H stands for "Shipping and Handling"
and if the seller wants to charge $9.55 for handling, it might
be to cover his time to go to the post office to mail the item.
Since he stated this up front, I don't think you have much of
a basis for complaint.
Personally, I don't charge for handling. I think repeat business
and reputation are more important than getting a few more dollars
for handling.
Your case might be against the eBay TOS if, for example, it were
a small item that would normally sell for $15 + $5 postage,
but because of the $10 handling, it sells for $5 + $15 S/H.
Then eBay only gets fees on $5 instead of $15. If this
happened regularly with a particular seller, they might
be interested.
