eBay may need to look into cheaper Insurance coverage

[santamonicajeweler]

I insure all my packages.  Insurance cost is very high on eBay postage options in compared to other sites. Hope, eBay corrects this issue before Christmas season

Supposed to get up to 100.00 free, which I believe is mostly 50.00, so on a 115.00 dollar package I just shipped it was another 3.17. That really increases what the already hefty fee % is on my sales. On Etsy I pay .80 cents for that same additional cost. Come on eBay, you are so much better than this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just an extra step when eBay should just get it straightened out on their end.......... come eBay, step up to the plate and help your sellers out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are wasting a lot of money by purchasing unneeded insurance. Don't pay for $115 insurance when you already got $100 for free.    

It's a policy of USPS, not eBay, that when you want more than the included USPS insurance coverage you pay for the entire amount of coverage, not just the increment above the included $100.
