Roland,
First try the passive aggressive approach. But only if  you really want the 
item.  But this approach positions you as a  good guy while still busting him 
if he tries to charge for the  fees Say  something  like
 
 
 "Thanks for getting back to me on the cost relating to  shipping.  The cost 
is fair  and reasonable and for that I thank you.  As you are abroad, 
obviously the fastest and simplest way to pay for an  Ebay item  is through 
Paypal.  
 
  However let me be a friend to you for a  moment. Apparently you are not 
aware of a critical violation of Ebay's  policy.  Anyone reported charging for 
fees associated with Paypal, or  inflating shipping to cover Paypal fees is 
subject to immediate  suspension.  I certainly don't mind taking the time to 
make 
you aware of  this aggressively policed rule of sales  As you know others  may 
not be as understanding and file a complaint without ever  giving you the 
chance to explain that you were sincerely unaware.  If  you have your  policy 
anywhere in your listings you will want to  remove it promptly and of course 
discontinue collecting the fees.
 
thanks again for the shipping costs and will be watching your  auction with 
interest.
