"First off, the sellers are to provide insurance."
Okay, I agree with everything else you said, but that part is not quite accurate. Sellers never have to purchase insurance, and on items where they feel the need to have the insurance they are perfectly within their rights to add the cost into the shipping costs(or listing cost) and charge it to the buyer, as Insurance IS a legitimate part of the shipping costs.
And buyers ARE obligated to buy it, If(and only if) it's
Your wrong, sorry.
New minimum standards for all sellers: Starting in October, there will be a new minimum standard for all eBay sellers based on the number of low DSRs (1s and 2s) received. The minimum standard will be stricter in April, 2010.
A new Selling Practices policy will define guidelines for professionalism and accuracy in all aspects of listings and transactions.
Optional buyer charges for shipping insurance will no longer be allowed. Sellers can still buy shipping insurance and add the cost to the item or shipping price.
factored in correctly.
