I do not get what they have against offering insurance? What am I missing?
I've been away for the past month and a half and return to listing and find so many changes! I agree with Teh Funnay that Ebay has found a new way to scam its sellers. It is not a seller's responsibility to insure an item and to not be able to offer it to the customer as an option is ridiculous. If I purchase something online from any major retailer, insurance is an option for me (the buyer). Why should eBay be any different!!??!! So now, if we don't automatically insure everything we ship, we stand to face more negative feedback on anything that gets broken or lost in shipment. I cannot afford to insure all I ship. Many of my items are $9.99 or less and after cost of inventory, ebay fees, PayPal fees, profit is minimal now...if I have to pay insurance cost, forget it, it's not worth the effort. I'm about ready to just quit!
