There is NO postal charge at all showing on the "Small Packet" I looked for 
that as soon as I had it in my hands.  Just the printed-out slip which says

 and the weight on the green Customs declaration.

No mention at all about postal charge.
A few items on the printed glued-on slip have been blacked out but I can read 
through the black-out and none deal with postal charge..

Weird

A learning experience I didn't need. So I pass it on for the benefit of others..

The amount showing on my PayPal record is exactly what they had on the 
auction page. When I saw I had won the auction I correctly anticipated that 
the real postal charge would be tiny (as indicated on the Canada Post web-
site) and e-mailed them requesting an adjustment to take the very small 
gross weight into account.  They ignored my e-mail - no reply and no 
adjustment.

Based on this experience, I'd be surprised if they would now enter into any 
correspondence on the matter ( or any other)..
