Is ebay first class mail insured

When you use eBay's shipping labels, the shipping carrier (such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx) provides insurance coverage for the package. However, the level of insurance coverage varies depending on the shipping carrier and the shipping service used.

Here's a general breakdown of the insurance coverage offered by each carrier:

  1. USPS (United States Postal Service):
    • First Class Package Service: $50 insurance coverage (free)
    • Priority Mail: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • Priority Mail Express: $100 insurance coverage (free)
  2. UPS:
    • UPS Ground: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • UPS 3-Day Select: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • UPS 2nd Day Air: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • UPS Next Day Air: $100 insurance coverage (free)
  3. FedEx:
    • FedEx Ground: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • FedEx Express Saver: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • FedEx 2Day: $100 insurance coverage (free)
    • FedEx Standard Overnight: $100 insurance coverage (free)

If you need additional insurance coverage beyond the standard amount, you can purchase extra insurance coverage from the shipping carrier. This is usually done at the time of shipping, and the cost will depend on the value of the item and the shipping carrier's rates.

On eBay, you can also purchase additional insurance coverage through eBay's Shipping Labels feature. This allows you to add insurance coverage to your shipping label, which will provide extra protection for your item in case it's lost, damaged, or stolen during transit.

Keep in mind that even with insurance coverage, there may be some limitations and exclusions to the coverage. Be sure to review the shipping carrier's terms and conditions to understand what's covered and what's not.
