How to charge the difference in ebay shipping cost?

If you calcualted the incorrect shipping cost on a item that you sold going to Germany, and it actaully turned out to cost more to ship it, but the item has already been paid for, how can you charge the customer the difference in the shipping cost that hasn't been paid for?

1. I think your stuck. Live and learn.
2. Its really difficult later once the item is sold or else you have to contact ebay authorities and play a waiting game.Initially itself one should calculate the correct shipping cost and make sure a few times there's no mistake of any kind or else you have to bear the loss or if the loss is proving too much its better to back off instead of bearing huge loss and return the client their money.
3. You made the error and set the shipping cost The buyer did not do this When the buyer purchased the item - that is legally as it stood and and at the price they bought it - YOU should have been more careful - legally you can't change the price to another amount - you are obligated to sell at the price shown.
4. you can't unless you specifically covered that in your posting.
