Price list for additional insurance with Ground Advantage?

[ceej5]

I'm trying to estimate how much it will cost to ship an item using Ground Advantage with additional insurance on eBay. I know a price list comes up when you are actually creating the shipping label but I want to know the prices before the listing sells. Is there a way I can do that?

The rates for shipcover are on this page - https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/shipcover/shipping-insurance-shipcover?id=4643

usps rates are here, under extra services - https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/Notice123.htm?_gl=1*j6xppb*_gcl_au*MTAwMzUwNDQ0MS4xNzE4NzU0MDI0*_ga*...

Unfortunately, I don't see the rates listed on that page and this link it refers me to just cycles back to the general shipping page:

I prefer to buy postage through ebay rather than the post office.

One can buy the shipping label anywhere online. In some cases it might be advantageous. Buying labels through eBay makes eBay the customer they want to speak to, should there be an issue.

Clicking on the link provided in the first response showed a table of the pricing. It's the first heading on the right column.

Is that not what you're looking for?

Sorry, maybe I'm being dense but I see no table here:

It refers me to another Shipcover page for rates but that link just cycles me back to the general shipping labels page:

https://pages.ebay.com/insurance/shipping/shipcover.html

There used to be Shipcover rates page that was easy to find but I can't seem find it now.

Yes, sorry, I see that the rate table is no longer at that link.

But if you dig through the FAQs, you eventually find this page 😀 - https://pages.ebay.com/insurance/shipping/coverage.html

Also - when you buy your label through eBay, you have your choice of usps or shipcover insurance. You don’t have to go to the po to use usps insurance.

Thanks! Just what I needed.

I still can't find the rates for extra insurance on top of the included $100 insurance with Ground Advantage on the USPS page, though. It would be nice to be able to compare the rates to Shipcover.

@ceej5 

the usps link I gave you takes you right to the cost of insurance - it applies to all services including ground advantage.

Since you're so knowledgeable, I'd like to ask you another question.

Let's say I have item that is worth $180. If I want to ship it through Ground Advantage and make sure it's totally covered by insurance, would I have to spend and extra $3.18 for the $100-$200 range or could I just spend and extra $1.70 and get an extra $100 insurance on top of the $100 that already comes with Ground Advantage?

[ceej5]

I think I'll post this as a new topic.

I only add the difference. I have never seen it spelled out, but when you buy the label, it says ‘add additional insurance’ - I take this to mean in addition to the base $100.
