paying for postage/insurance online -- ideas?

I sell mostly items that weigh only a few ounces but they're collectable items and I offer insurance.

My question is: Does anybody know if there's any way to buy insurance/postage online if the package isn't heavy enough to require Priority Mail shipping?

As best as I can figure out, the automated postage machines at some post offices won't do it either (or, perhaps they will do it but only for heavier packages).

I suppose I could simply make the shipping Priority to begin with but many of my listings' starting bids are less than five dollars (and, obviously, $4.00 would be outrageous for First Class shipping of a two-ounce package).

I'm also curious about international mail. I'd love to be able to ship a three-ounce package to France with Customs form attached without having to go stand in line at the post office.

Any suggestions? Anything I don't seem to know?

Thanks in advance!
