I would suggest a stated value insurance like UPS/USPS. That way Auctiva is competetive.
USPS and UPS give the option to select the amount of coverage. In other words, if I sell something and the combined shipping and cost is $100.01 am I stuck paying an extra $0.75($2.45 - $1.70) for $0.01 of coverage?
Any transaction were the shipping cost pushes the total to the next tier Autiva is actually more expensive.
Here is a direct cut and paste from my account:
Transaction Details
Quantity Title Item Cost Total
1 Dish Network DP-301 DP301 Receiver Yellow Card Remote 9708779206 $46.22 $46.22
Subtotal:$46.22
Sales Tax:$0.00
Shipping:$16.22
Shipping Insurance:$0.00
Adjustments:$0.00
Total:$62.44
If the information above does not reflect the current state of the transaction, please use the button below to import the most current data from eBay.
Purchase Auctiva Shipping Insurance
Amount of insurance: $62.44
Cost of insurance: $1.70
Please confirm that you would like to purchase $62.44 of insurance for $1.70. The $1.70 will be due to Auctiva
--------------------------------
In this transaction USPS would only charge $1.35 for insurance on the item ($46.22)
