The eye cup on my GH4 popped off at some point, and now it's gone. I tried to call Panasonic parts department for a replacement. They told me it's out of stock, they would have to make a special order. Also, it would cost over $35 plus over $12 for shipping. That's almost $50 for a tiny piece of plastic!

Surely there must be some alternative solution. This is pretty ridiculous that there isn't an easy and inexpensive way to replace a removable part like that.

It would be nice if you would update your profile, at this moment in time I do not know if you are quoting HK$, CA$, ZW$ or US$.

I ordered two eyecups for the GH3 @ €5 each and two BG contact covers @ €2 each, and €4 shipping last December in Germany. I am sure it will be less expensive (compared to your quote) to order from Germany as international shipping will be much lower.
