new ebay shipping insurance. ShipCover

i see a big convenience to me when shipping items over $500. i could only print labels at home for up to $500 but this new option is up to $5000. much faster claims handling also. your thoughts??? is this more expensive than the USPS rates?

    I say it will help with convenience of not going through other private insurances, but the cost comes with it.

    USPS insurance on first class and priority mail is very expensive. this is even more expensive. Ebay wants to make money on every part of the process. --jerry

    All well and fine FOR NOW. Once upon a time, there was this thing called PayPal. It was a convenient and often free alternative that some people allowed as payment for those who didn't want to send a check or money order. Now it's mandatory and never free. Also, once upon a time, the eBay seller fees for the casual seller were half of what they are now. If eBay is starting to offer shipping insurance at rates almost competitive with other 3rd party insurers, you can bet that before long they'll be requiring the seller to foot the bill for their insurance on all lots that exceed a certain value in addition to the signature confirmation already require.

    Is seller protection cover lost in the mail if you provide SC? I once lost a coin in mail. Ebay paid for it.

    "Once upon a time, there was this thing called PayPal. It was a convenient and often free alternative that some people allowed as payment for those who didn't want to send a check or money order. "

    Boy those were the days, getting checks and money orders all the time. Constantly driving and wasting time going to the bank. and then waiting for the check to clear, great times..... Also going to the post office many times a week to mail packages.....


    Now everything is done at my office computer. All payments and all shipping labels done on my office computer, all thanks to paypal .....

    If only it was the way it was ..............
