That's a good idea. Luckily, I have the notice that was put in my mail box and it has the tracking number for this package and states postage is due.
Advice please

That's what I was thinking too. If she took it to the post office counter they would have weighed the package and asked for her to pay more when she dropped off the package. If she doesn't refund the $6.53 I will contact ebay and ask them what to do.
If I don't hear back from the seller by tomorrow I will contact ebay and ask them what to do. Thanks
I'm hoping the seller will just respond to my email and refund me the $6.53 through paypal.
If she doesn't refund me the $6.53 through paypal I will refuse the package and have it sent back to her.
Thanks so much for all of the great advice from everyone on this forum. I just got an email back from the seller and she told me she would refund the $6.53 for the extra postage due. I'm so glad she was understanding and that I didn't have to refuse the package.
Out of curiosity - after you pick the package up, ask them to weigh it and calculate how much it would cost to ship from the sellers location to your location. There is always a chance that there is a mistake in the weight/postage charged.
A few years ago I shipped a gift of a DVD to a friend in England. The cost came to $55.00!!! Ummmm ...... NO! Believe it or not, but the computer monitor that the clerk was using had been moved so she could see it better - and the end of the monitor was pressing on the edge of the scale!! Once the monitor was moved and the scale was recalibrated, the postage came to something like $9.00

That's a good idea. I will have the clerk weigh the package when I pick it up on Tuesday and I will post how much it weighed. I can't believe how much they charged you to mail a DVD.
I was sending it with I think two or three day shipping to England - so it wasn't too bad.
Here is what she did:
1st she overcharged you for 1st class. It is about 3.00 .
She shipped the item as first class and it was probably a sort of flat package which you cannot do with DC. It has to be 3/4" thick.
The post office wants 7.00 more because they changed it to a priority mail package because it is not thick enough.
I would email and ask for my 7.00 back and the extra $ she overcharged you for the price of shipping originally . She should have shipped that package either priority or first class in the first place with something in it to make it thicker.
