How would you handle the case where certain shippings are not insurable, the
buyer may not be aware of this & select to include (& pay for) insurance assuming
that their package is insured when it actually can't be. for example Canada
Post no longer permits insurance on letter mail (bubble pack envelopes under
2cm thickness) or shippings to excluded countries such as Italy? for these it
would be best if the option didn't show up at all to avoid confusion for the
buyer or an additional communication from the seller having to explain that it's
not even available & then wait for a reply before processing the order.

gotta kinda wonder what the point is anyway, I would think most buyers would
assume ALL packages are insured at the sellers expense anyway since that in the
event of any issues ultimately the buyer will nearly always get his full money
back when paid by paypal through the claims process (very heavily weighted against
the seller).

sure it might work in defence in small claims court after a paypal decision as
part of the contract, but would the percentage of sellers willing or even able
to make use of that route be above %0 especially with international orders.
