Adding domestic insurance to your item using eBay Labels is fast and easy. You don't need to fill out extra forms. Just select the option to cover items up to $500 when listing an item or when you print a USPS shipping label through eBay Labels.

It's important to note that, whenever you ship using any USPS Priority Mail® service, you automatically receive $50 worth of FREE insurance for your shipments—and eBay Top Rated Sellers and Platinum and Titanium PowerSellers who use eBay Labels receive $100 worth of FREE insurance. Plus, when you ship using these services via eBay Labels, FREE Delivery Confirmation™ is automatically uploaded to My eBay.

Finally, if you require coverage over $500, additional domestic and international* coverage for your shipments is available up to $5,000 at Post Offices™ and on USPS.com®. Note that the International Priority Mail Small Flat Rate™ Box and Flat Rate Envelopes are not insurable.
