Wow! I will say "congratz" and also, "wow!" about the shipping and then required insurance costs! How much are you anticipating it sells for? $7.50 s/h and another $8.20 for mandatory insurance?
Now that I know they are putting "satin" on the Mint Set coins, I may want to submit some of my d mints that are looking pretty good and clean actually....
I plan on boxing and shipping as to be sure no problems arise. The insurance is a buffer incase price goes high. If you notice in auction I said buyer to pay actual shipping charges.
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about. -Benjamin Franklin-
Don't change it to appease me. I was just shocked....I factor the insurance and s/h costs into my bids when I bid, but I know that if they seem excessive, I just figure the seller is a pain to deal with and usually don't bother bidding.
You'll get bids due to the registry. I really do wish you luck. I just think it would have been wiser to either eat the cost (say FREE s/h/i and you would likely get even more bids and if it does sell for $400+, then that is a drop in the bucket) or say "insurance required and will be charged at the actual amount the post office charges depending on the auction's ending value of the coin".
Then I'll join the "peanut Gallery" in saying the shipping charge is outrageous. Priority Mail Boxes are free and the postage is $3.95 or so. Bubble Envelopes are $.50 and the postage would be less than a dollar.

Good luck with the sale
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
And actual shipping charges?? Do you mean box, bubble wrap, tape, paper, time, gas, postage, etc.?
As Bochiman said....good luck.
