It sounds like she was giving you the shipping for BOTH auctions in that second auction instead of the half like she promised. I would just send her a polite message reminding her she promised you a cheaper shipping option for combined shipping. She probably just made a mistake and forgot you had already paid for the first auction.
Unfortunately since the seller was using eBay's calculated shipping, the shipping costs they enter take priority over the calculated shipping costs, and the buyer is charged the amount that they enter. It's not against eBay's policies to do this, as long as she was using the calculated shipping option.Hopefully she is willing to perhaps ship it a cheaper way and offer you a partial for your over payment. If she doesn't then make a note that at $7.91, that it does indeed come Priority Mail.
She does state in her auction "The eBay shipping calculator is often wrong, so please wait to pay until I have sent you an invoice." And yes, I read that, and never once did I think that it would be more than the stated amount. Why would a seller state a lesser shipping amount in the auction, and then raise it? Wouldn't it be a better practice if you're unsure of how to use the ebay calculator, to state a higher shipping amount, and then charge less? It's like a bait and switch tactic.
