70EUR to the UK from Paris is fine.
For 170EUR you can book a return flight or Eurostar and collect it yourself!

Ask him for refund of the postage, along with the dimensions and weight of the parcel and send a courier to get it?
Italy has http://www.truckpooling.it/ which I am not entirely sure how it works other than it spends a day in some kind of limbo before being passed on to a reputable shipping company. However I managed to get a frame+fork from San Marino to London for €45 giving 4.9kg as the weight just to be on the safe side. Maybe France has something similar?

@James.
won a bike located in paris nearly a week ago. the buyer was good with contact and answering questions and stuff, said he would post yesterday but sent me a message saying that his national post wouldnt accept my parcel as its too big, and if i wanted a private courier i would need to send him an extra 100 euro on top of the 70 euro i already gave him for shipping. my friend is calling bullshit and saying he is attempting to swindle more money out of me. my skepticism stems from the fact his ebay is new with zero feedback. ive suggested to the seller that he dismantle the bike more and put it in a smaller box, upon finding out he hadnt already done so, and as of yet, he hasnt replied.
has anybody got suggestions regarding postage, i dont want a refund i would much rather the bike, and as im an impatient individual would also like it quite soon :(
