Now here in the USA I will not ship anything I sell without full shipping insurance and I demand the same from sellers who are shipping to me. It can still be a hassle to get your money back in the event of a claim but its better than nothing.

Sell same item on USAA and even if they use paypal now you are only down 3%. Its a no brainer for a seller tbh, I have just sold an item a few minutes ago on USAA and at $208 inc shipping, Paypal fee was $6.30 or so. On ebay that would have been $26.30!
