[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1061296, member: 66"]For eBay protection your mailing MUST have confirmation. Delivery confirmation for amounts less than $250, signature confirmation if over $250. Low value items that weigh less than 13 oz can be sent first class. Over 13 oz it is cheaper to send them Priority mail. Insurance is up to you and how much risk you are willing to carry personally. Myself, I am willing to risk (self insure) up to about $150 and save the insurance fee. Over that I will buy insurance on first class or Priority mail. For high value items, over about $700, it is cheaper to send it by Registered mail. It is also safer. Insured mail disappears at a rate 1000 times as often, maybe more, than Registered. Even though it is so safe you will still have to get the signature confirmation. Ebay does not recognize the registered mail signature. The more the package is worth the cheaper Registered mail becomes. Also insured mail can not be insured for more than $5000. Registered mail can be insured for up to $25,000. As an example of the cost difference, a priority mail package insured for $5,000 costs $51.70 A Registered mail package insured for the same amount cost $21.40[/QUOTE]
