Another dumb question..how does this work?

As far as I know, PayPal only integrates with USPS and UPS insurance. When you purchase insurance through Auctiva you are given a link to an insurance confirmation page that you can print out to include with the package, or email it to the buyer, if that helps.

Since you are purchasing private insurance through U-Pic, there will be no insurance showing on your label. If you need to file a claim, you need to do it through Auctiva - not the post office.

Thanks guys, I think I get it now. Would you happen to know if U-Pic integrates with any of the other shipping services...I think some folks use Endicia?

Hmmm...I just gave the insurance thingy a whirl, and I wasn't taken to a confirmation page or anything that I can print out. In addition, if this doesn't integrate with PayPal, how the heck are you guys going to bill me? Or pay me my 25 cents? (That's the more important question :-)) I'm really confused now! Hope you can shed some light on this for me. Thanks!

Check out the page I have pasted below. It has to do with accepting insurance through our integrated checkout, but it also can apply when you purchase insurance directly on the transactions page. There is also a link at the top for more information regarding our revenue sharing plan. Let us know if you have any more questions after reading this over.

Thanks David, I found that page after I posted. So my next questions are:
1. How can I find the confirmation that I have purchased insurance to print out and include in the package so my customer knows she got the insurance.

2. It looks like I can pay you from my PayPal account or a credit card, but when should I pay you? Do you send me a month-end invoice?

Thanks again!

We do not send monthly invoices. Basically after your balance reaches a certain point then we disable your ability to purchase insurance through us until you increase your account balance.

Regarding the insurance confirmation... On your transactions page, click on 'Checkout Details' for the transaction you purchased insurance for (the transaction must be completed - i.e. marked as paid - before this link will be available), then at the bottom of that page will be a link to the confirmation.

Thanks again, David. I found the confirmation. As far as the billing part, I guess I'll need to remember to check every once in a while!
Thanks again for your help and patience!
