Ebay does not permit sellers to charge for insurance separately. It is to be included in the shipping and handling chares.

What you're not allowed to charge
Insurance: You can't charge a separate fee for insurance, although you still need to make sure your item arrives as described.
Tip: You should incorporate any insurance fees into an item's price or handling cost.

So to the OP, what the seller is doing is directly in violation of ebay's policy.
