Shipping Insurance

You can offer to insure the item against loss or damage during shipping.


  • You can make shipping insurance optional or required.

  • If you specify a cost for insurance up front, it will be automatically included in the payment total for the buyer.


Insurance is particularly important if you ship internationally; some carriers include insurance on international packages automatically.

Note: If you select “Free shipping” and make insurance required, the insurance amount you specify will appear to buyers in the Shipping column in search results and on the View Item page.
