Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2418198, member: 66"]If you are talking about using an ebay label their default insurance carrier WILL NOT insure coins.  But there is a place when you are preparing the ebay shipping label where you can select USPS insurance and they WILL insure the numismatic value of the coins. Insuring under $1000 priority insured is cheaper, over $1000 Registered is cheaper.  And as the value increases Registered  becomes MUCH cheaper.  A $5000 Priority insured (which I believe is the max) costs a couple hundred to insure.  A $25,000 covered Registered package costs $50. When you ship registered you have to declare a value and you pay based on that declaration.  It is then insured for that amount. You can do that, but it will 1.) cost more than the Registered mail and 2.) mark your package as being potentially very valuable and without the security provided by the Registered mail procedures. If you use delivery confirmation for lower value shipments and USPS shows it was delivered, or signature confirmation for higher value ones and USPS show a signature was obtained then eBay considers it to have been delivered and you don't owe a refund even if the buyer doesn't, or says he didn't, receive it.[/QUOTE]
