<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 1050532, member: 26972&quot;]This won&#039;t help you BadThad - however related to making a claim on a insured shipments. I placed a claim for an insured lost package.&nbsp; Buyer was on vacation.&nbsp; The item disappeared while waiting to be picked up from the local Post Office. I am convinced that USPS insurance tags are the equivilent of &quot;Steal Me&quot; Tags since out of thousands of packages to and fro, the only problems I have ever had was packages that were insured.</p><p><br /></p><p>I received reimbursement within weeks of the claim. I am fairly certain because it was an eBay sale that was easily referenced for proof of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting side note.&nbsp; I insured for&nbsp; the 1-200 value on an auction of $105.&nbsp; (Similar collectibles had sold for more than $200 in the past)&nbsp;&nbsp; I appealed the amount paid, and sent info related to previous sales to back up my appeal.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wanted the full $200.&nbsp; Tried reasoning that for the extra dollar in fees for $5 value&nbsp; it made no sense for me to insure to $200. I also asked what would have been paid if I paid fees for the $2-300 range,&nbsp; while emphasizing that neither the me nor the buyer wanted the money, we wanted the item!&nbsp;&nbsp; No response - just denial of the appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is:&nbsp; If you insure from an eBay sale. Pay close attention to the value amounts on one of a kind item and if something should happen.... if you reference an eBay auction in the claim, they will not pay any more than the auction price. period..</p><p><br /></p><p>lastly...&nbsp;&nbsp; it really bothers me that many eBay sellers still try to charge buyers for <b>their</b> insurance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
