Since I do a lot of business on Ebay, I'll let you know. This amount for shipping is most likely his cost since it is international. I doubt he would try to get over on you at this price. Shoes are tricky with shipping since you double the size of the package when you ship two pairs.
My best advice is to ask him why it would be so much more since he had claimed that shipping on the second pair was free. It could be, however, that he had meant free shipping for the second item domestic shipping and didn't account for international buyers.
It never hurts to ask...

I would just do whatever it takes for him to send those, i know on principle you should'nt have to pay him extra to send them, but, i personally would just pay the extra to make sure he sends them, too nice to miss out on they are mate, like you say, you can always file a complaint once you have them in your possesion
all day i dream and shine.

Send him an email dirty saying you thought the 2nd item won came with free shipping and has there been a mistake or did that not apply to international ebayers!!worth an ask at least that way you'll know the score.Goodluck
p.s 26euro to ship to pairs of shoes to U.S?? isn't a bad price m8 as euro and ££ are struggling right now
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

The postage sounds totally fair to me, it costs a lot to post them to the US! I'd be happy if a US seller charged me 25 GBP postage for two pairs.
And like the others say I think he was referring to domestic postage being free if you buy extra pairs.

I think that's the fault of Ebay and you not translating the German, probably at all.
The free bit is definitely domestic.
€26 is well cheap for 2 pairs, I sent one pair of HUFs to Brazil and it cost me £25 !
Pay the man, no quibbles.

I reckon you'll get 'em and see €25.70 on the postage label.

Well they are cracking kicks to start with, I can understand why you thought that beacuse I checked out your link and I saw this:
"Free shipping for each additional eligible item you buy from..."
And underneath it says USA. To me that would mean free shipping to the USA on the 2nd item, but "eligilbe item" could mean anything!!
If I wanted them badly I'd pay, then complain but not expect to get the money back
Did you mail the seller before you won them?
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in while you could miss it.
