<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1926482, member: 26302"]Did anyone consider insurance? If I ship a coin, (I usually don't I am a hoarder), a part of my cost would be packaging, part would be postage, but a third would be insurance. Either I pay the PO to insure, or I self insure. Maybe the $5.25 is broken down by:</p><p><br /></p><p>Packaging $1</p><p>Postage $.50</p><p>Self Insurance$3.75</p><p><br /></p><p>I see nothing wrong with it since the buyer AGREED to pay the $5.25 End of story. If the coin showed up damaged, well then the seller would have to refund the money and "pay" for it out of the self insurance fund. I simply do not understand how others here think they are the "shipping gods" of Ebay and can dictate how everyone should handle shipping, handling, and insurance. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the OP can not like the protection the coin received in transit, but unless he spoke with the seller beforehand, its not really his call its the seller. In the end, the coin got there, right? Now, if the OP wished to contact the seller and educate him that maybe if he spends a little more on packaging he will reduce the number of potential broken coin claims, that is fine and I think its a nice hing to do for the seller.
