How to handle insurance for a used item

I have two Apple computers and an iPhone to sell. I am not a professional seller.

I find myself having to deal with insurance.

I set shipping prices using shipping rules and these do not offer the necessary flexibility for handling insurance.

For shipping I will use packlink and the insurance price is calculated based on the insured value.

Since one computer costs €500 and the other €2500, how do I handle these differences?

I had thought of creating an ad hoc shipping rule for each of the items I will be selling, but that seems like nonsense to me.

Do you have any suggestions, or should I go ahead with a specific rule for each item?

In the meantime, if you haven’t already done so, I խորհուրդ you to take a look at the rules packlink applies regarding insurance because there are several conditions/limitations.

If the hardware is too old, they might not cover it and you’d end up wasting money.

For a read, you could start here:

To get as complete an overview as possible, you need to browse around the packlink site and eBay’s site because the information is a bit scattered.

Best regards.

In case of damage or loss, what you declared will not count, they will ask for the purchase invoices to prove the value, do you have them?

Well, more than "they don’t offer the necessary flexibility for managing insurance" I’d say that PackLink (and all brokers in general...) "don’t offer the necessary reliability for managing insurance"...
