Your post doesn't really make sense because there's no eBay charging system where you pay a flat rate of 85p per sale (other, posibly, than if you're only selling items woth £8.50).
Does eBay see you as a private seller or as a business seller? There are different fee structures for each. See here

(If you can explain whee you think the 85p figure comes from, we might be able to spot where any additional fees are bein racked up).
One more thought:
Are you absolutely sure that the email you've received actually comes from eBay? It might well be a spoof email, trying to trick you into paying money into a fraudster's acount. Do NOT click on any links in the email. Instead, go directly to your eBay account and look at the information there. If you genuinely owe the money, there should be a detailed breakdown of how the total was arrived at. If there's nothing there to indicate that you owe the amount, simply delete the email.

Just log onto ebay and have a look at the invoice breakdown. If the ebay fee is for £148 it must include other things like listing fees, special boost/enhanced listings promotion. That would only add up though if you've listed loads of fairly expensive things but only sold a few less expensive ones given that you say your sales add up to less than £148
