<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman0456, post: 652034, member: 18177&quot;]I saw that very same seller auction item. Now I am not a legal professional, but I question the legality of a seller imposing an EBAY forum &quot;sub-contract&quot; agreement upon the buyer, without publishing in advance, a licensed insurance fee agreement and &quot;all fees&quot; insurance chart which is also agreed upon by EBAY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what EBAY is proposing</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>:As part of its announcement to sellers on Monday, eBay said it would remove optional buyer charges for shipping insurance. &quot;The insurance option creates the perception that buyers need to purchase shipping insurance as a protection on eBay, an experience they&#039;re not accustomed to on other ecommerce sites. In fact, sellers have always been responsible for their items until they arrive safely in their customers&#039; hands. That&#039;s why shipping insurance will no longer be included in the purchase flow as either an option or requirement for buyers. Of course you can choose to purchase insurance on shipments, but not ask buyers to buy insurance separately. In some categories like Antiques, Collectibles, and Jewelry, shipping insurance for sellers is essential. When appropriate, you can include the cost of insurance in your item or shipping price.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>In reacting to the policy change, some sellers have said that buyers would have no incentive to cooperate with the seller in filing an insurance claim.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>INSURANCE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A &quot;SELLER&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANYTHING A SELLER MAY ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE UPON A BUYER IS ILLEGAL, IN THIS REGARD.</p><p>&nbsp;{THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM TODAY, WHERE THE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ATTEMPT TO PUT &quot;VICTIMS&quot; OF CRIMES OR LOSSES CAUSED BY&nbsp; THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS IN THE HOT SEAT.}[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
