Ebay sellers getting screwed again !
Ebay has instituted another new policy here (scroll down about center page) making it harder yet for sellers. You cannot make insurance an option or a requirement unless you, the seller, include the cost as a handling charge.
I am not talking about pro ebay sellers since I am not one of those. I list items from time to time. I plan on listing a high end bicycle and if I have to pay for the insurance without being able to pass on the cost to the buyer.... or at least share it I think that is ridiculous.
Really gripes me that ebay is just about the only game in town. Now the potential buyer will see the added cost in the shipping and be less likely to bid. Also if it is a high dollar item I always like to base the insurance on the final value to be fair to the buyer. Arrrgggh !!
