Why eBay Insurance Is Important

In the “THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS GET INSURANCE ON EBAY ITEMS” department:
I was doing a bit of early Christmas shopping for Kathy, and I had won an eBay auction for a “Sango Sangria Vegetable or Relish Tray” (she likes the Sango Sangria stuff). As you can see above, it didn’t survive the journey. So now, I’m out about $30 after paying for shipping, too, and nothing but a broken tray to show for it.
The insurance which I opted not to get: $1.70.
I was simply being cheap--trying to save less than two bucks. Well, lesson well learned, I suppose.
Whatever you do, don’t tell Kathy.
