EBay international shipping for high priced items
EBay international shipping only covers $100 for loss. If I pay for insurance, through eBay, for high priced items does this only cover for travel to the shipping hub or does it also cover for travel overseas to the buyer? If this cannot be done through eBay, how can I insure high ticket items?

You are currently using "media mail".
Direct shipping to the buyer...can add insurance...cost more using USPS.

·2 years agoWhere did you get the idea it only covers $100?
Once your shipment arrives at the EIS facility you are covered 100% for any and all claims.
If you mean that the shipment was lost BEFORE reaching the EIS facility then it's all on you, if the shipment is valued at more than $100 then it is on you to purchase additional insurance. This would be true for a shipment worth $10 or $10,000.
