Insurance on a $12.00 item is $1.75. Cost to ship a smaller item like a photo in an envelope with rigid backing for protection is about $2.06 with Delivery Confirmation if you get your shipping online. It's about $2.90 if you get it at the Post Office.
Associated Paypal and Ebay fees on that $12.00 item is about $2.05.
Total seller cost to sell and ship this item to the lucky buyer is $5.86 if shipping is done online. $6.70 if brought to the Post Office.
Just roll it in to the sellers costs I guess.
All and all I guess this is a bargain for the seller if all their items grew on a Memorabilia tree they planted in their backyard.
Self Insure?? - That's codeword for seller is "Sh*t outta luck" if the Post Office doesn't deliver item properly or the buyer decides the item was stolen from his front porch or mailbox................whether it was or not.
