  Can a seller force me to pay for a more expensive option without explanation?
I am trying to purchase from a seller who lists two different prices for shipping.
There are no indications, or if there are any, it was not clear to me what they
were, how these two shipping options are evaluated.

So I pick my parts and request an invoice and they are charging me the €30 shipping
instead of the €12.50 shipping, without any explanation. (I did not order any
large pieces or expensive parts).

I sent a message back asking for the €12.50 shipping instead, which matches the
chart they have for the weight of my order and for the “zone” my country is in.

If the seller insists on only charging me the higher shipping price, which makes
the purchase not worth it for me, do I have any recourse? Will trying to cancel
the order put a black mark on my account?

There is the possibility that your order weight + the packaging weight put you
into the higher shipping method.
I would contact your seller first and ask them why you are being charged the
$30.00 shipping for an order that weighs only x amount.
If the seller does say that with packaging, it put your order into the higher
shipping amount, ask them how much weight you would have to remove to reach the
lower shipping rate or ask them to cancel the order.
