its the principle how can you justify the postage amount on something that weighs next to nothing

Exactly.
Update - I was wrong.  Adding a 2nd univalve only increases the postage by a quid to £5.
 However, if you add a tiny plastic pole stay, it shoots up to £9.
So if the postage is calculated by weight, I don't think I want to add one of those to the end of my pole!

This bugs me especially when I see somebody leaving a perfectly good seller bad feedback over it on sites like fleebay,
as with the price of the item the seller can charge as much as they want for postage, if you don't like it don't buy it.

Here, here!

I got a warning once selling on there. I sold something, didn't know what to charge postage and didn't want to lose out. So set Postage a little higher and thought that any purchaser would factor that into their bidding. But no! Someone bought it, complained and I got a warning.

By the way make yourself a removable pole extender with a piece of garden hose. 3 inch length and cut down the side with Stanley knife. I find it more useful to be able to remove it.

Think postage is automatic now on eBay . Last few items I've sold on eBay it pre-calculated the postage fee .

Postage is the price of delivery ,packaging ,and maybe companies include cost of their invoicing ,bubble wrap etc

Like you say , everyone has a choice
