I disagree as long as I can show (mostly through e-mail dialogue) that there
was an agreement that burden of liability is on the buyer AND I can show proof
of shipment (USPS, UPS receipt). If liability for lost/damage is clearly
communicated and agreed upon to be on the buyer, I doubt you'd have much luck
pursuing a claim through the USPS.

This is the tricky part. If you offer insurance to a buyer, the implication
is that you are insuring the entire value of the sale (including the cost of
shipping) whether or not a valid claim can be made for said transaction value.

Agreed.
