I don't have a problem with a seller not wanting to Insure an Item, but the
seller is still responsible to deliver the item. Giving the buyer the option
does not get the seller out of it. I just add it to the shipping charges if I
feel the Item should be covered

It' my understanding that the person who walks up to the counter and pays for
the Shipping and Insurance is the one whose basis (ie: Amount Paid with proof)
will be covered. So, if you sell an item for $100 and paid $10 for it and you
can prove it, the PO will pay you $10, I may be incorrect but, since the
product was never really sold for $100 they will only cover your basis. This
whole subject starts to get very complicated. John AKA (freightmaster)
