[Lord]

I don't get it, the seller posted everywhere that shipping insurance is optional

Sale price: $9.99
Quantity: 1
Subtotal: US $9.99
Shipping & Handling:
Standard Flat Rate Shipping Service: US $9.75

Insurance: $1.40 (optional)
Sales tax: (none)

is the email I got

Subtotal: US $9.99
Shipping and handling via Standard Flat Rate Shipping Service: US $9.75
Shipping insurance (required): US $1.40
Seller discounts (-) or charges (+):
US $0.00
Total: US $21.14

Best bet would have emailed the seller before you sent the payment and tell him you don't want insurance.

Not sure what the value was, but usually the sellers don't profit if you pay for insurance.

well, ebay site said for products 0-50, it's 1.35 for shipping insurance, i paid 1.40, 5 cents over ;p

im hoping he loses my product so i can tell him i never got it and he has to ship again....

Well, it depends on who their shipping it by, UPS, Fedex, USPS all have different prices for insurance... I know UPS goes by how much you want to insure the item for.

Not sure, but what Ebay said may just be a guideline... But like I said, I'm not sure, I havn't even seen there auction. :p
