Yeah, you can't blame the seller on this one.  I saw this syncro and read the entire add and noticed the $200 fee.  It is clearly stated there.

Rule of thumb:  Read the add completely to know what you are getting into.

This is completely unlike that other add where the seller listed all text in giant text, and then in microscopic text stated that no engine or tranny was included.

I was watching an auction on a Syncro Vanagon not too far from me. It
got to the last couple of hours and the auction was still pretty low
($760). I put my max bid up to $860 and won the auction. So I am
excited about getting this van and I call the guy today to make
arrangements. I paid him $200 as a deposit via Pay Pal and then called
him up. I wish I would have called first. In the Terms of Sale of the
van it states that there is a $200 "documentation fee" added to all
non-reserve auctions. I didn't notice this when I was bidding on the
van or I probably would have let it pass by. So now the van I thought I
was getting for $860 is actually costing me $1060 plus another $200 for
towing. Live and learn. Here is a link to the auction if you want to
take a look.

I guess you can't say that these guys are trying to pull a fast one
because they do put the $200 fee in the terms of sale description.
However I have been left with a bad taste in my mouth and will be more
careful in the future.
