Insurance is not being calculated automatically in my auctions...

Are you offering Auctiva insurance?

No, not yet. Reluctant at this time.

You really should, I have been ever since it came out. It's very easy to use. Also since it's Auctiva's way of generating income, it means more money for them which means better equipment which means less down time which means more successful listings which means more happy Auctiva users.

I'm still looking into it and hate being a "mooch" with Auctiva's great free service. I need to figure out this other problem first though.

Has anyone experienced this same problem with the insurance not calculating when sharging flat-rates for S&H?

Thanks, Jack

Insurance was not calculated in my auctions this past week as well,even though I have it set up to be included automatically. I was charged 1.40 for each one!!!

Hello,
Since the "Insurance is a Scam" board is closed and I am not able to respond there (hmmm....), I'll try here. I have been an Auctiva paying member since the beginning. For the first time this month I actually had to file an insurance claim for a lost package to New Zeeland. Total amount insured: $50 for the item and $34 for insurance. Here’s the FYI: When you click on the insurance purchase button, it automatically fills in the total amount paid to you (how convenient I thought!). They add the verbage: “Shipping, Sales Tax, Handling, and Adjustment amounts are included in calculating the coverage amount.” Every time I have purchased insurance from Auctiva, I was led to believe that I was safely covered for all expenses, just as they state. After filing this claim, I was made to jump through endless hoops and spend way too much time having to respond back and forth, and back and forth, and resubmit information that I had already submitted, etc. etc. In the end, they shorted me on the $34 shipping and only paid me for the item that was lost ($50). I immediately contacted the insurance company and spoke to Melissa. After arguing with her for several minutes, here is what I was told. When my customer filled out the claim form that I sent to her, she only requested $50. My point to Melissa was, that is not the amount that was insured, and my customer was not the person paying for and insuring the item - I was. I was charged for insurance an the full amount - the amount that I was led to believe I was insuring. She kept trying to talk circles around me arguing about information that had nothing to do with the fact that not only am I out the item sent and lost, but also my Ebay fees and the ungodly amount of time spent playing this ‘insurance game’ (i.e. SCAM). So beware of what you think you are buying. It’s not anywhere near what they advertise it as. They run you around in circles and force you to jump through hoops hoping that you’ll just give up. Well, after all of this - I did. Life’s too short to have to deal with this kind of unnecessary negative game-playing. Fortunately, it only took one time for me to learn my lesson - I’ll never buy Auctiva insurance again.
