Does ebay priority mail include insurance

Ebay's Priority Mail service does not automatically include insurance. However, you can purchase additional insurance coverage for your Priority Mail shipment through eBay's shipping options.

Here's how it works:

  1. When you print your shipping label through eBay's shipping center, you'll have the option to add insurance coverage to your shipment.
  2. You can choose from three insurance coverage levels:
    • $100 coverage: This is the default insurance coverage level, which provides coverage up to $100.
    • $200 coverage: This level provides coverage up to $200.
    • $500 coverage: This level provides coverage up to $500.
  3. The cost of insurance coverage will be added to your shipping cost.
  4. If your item is lost or damaged during shipping, you can file a claim with the USPS (United States Postal Service) and receive reimbursement up to the amount of insurance coverage you purchased.

It's important to note that eBay's Priority Mail service does not include insurance coverage for items that are valued at $100 or more. In these cases, you'll need to purchase additional insurance coverage through eBay's shipping options or through the USPS.

Additionally, if you're shipping an item that is particularly valuable or fragile, you may want to consider purchasing additional insurance coverage through a third-party shipping insurance provider. These providers often offer more comprehensive coverage options and may be more suitable for high-value or sensitive items.
