As far as who owes what, if the seller offered insurance (which would cover damage in transit, BTW) and stated that he is not responsible for a loss in transit if the buyer declines insurance, I don't see what the buyer who then declines insurance would have to complain about if the item was damaged in transit. He was offered coverage for the risk, he refused it, and he lost his gamble. This attitude of "I didn't want to pay for insurance but I still want my loss insured if something goes wrong" baffles me. If you are offered a service and you refuse to accept it because you don't want to pay for it, how do you figure you are entitled to it regardless?
