How to add insurance to an paypal payment?

Posted By: joe

I purchased 2 cards on ebay, the seller did not offer insurance. i contacted seller and he said he would insure, just add the cost. I can't seem to figure out how to add the extra cost to my payment. I clicked recalculate, that did nothing for me. Anyone?

Thanks joe

Try just adding it without hitting "recalculate." If not, ask the seller to send a new invoice w/ insurance added. You can always send a payment directly from Paypal, if you know the seller's Paypal address.

Cobby is right. Soemtimes a seller will offer a shipping discount for multiple purchases but when you get the invoice it lists the same shipping costs x the number of cards and there is no way to get around it. Thjat's when you go to Paypal and manually enter the cards' id numbers and your own shipping costs (including insurance if you like).
