He used 'weigh' too much packaging. If he acted in good faith and realised only late on postage cost would be so much he should have amended it or contacted you asking prior to shipping. Have you received it? If so and you're really happy and believe he's acted in good faith and is making an honest request, then maybe split.

I bought a frame on FB so not ebay but general question...
I asked seller to ship. He said yes, gave me quote for fee-50 odd euros. Quite high, but I paid it.
He's now shipped and come back to me saying that it cost almost 70 euros because the weight was over (6.6kg, so c. 2kg for frame, 4kg packing?!) and asked me to pay the difference, although this is "up to your kindness".
I've shipped plenty of frames in my time, sub 5kg, so suspect he's packed the box out with total shite which makes me less inclined to be generous, even before you get to the question of "being kind" about it.
What's the forum opinion?
