Scenario 1.
You sell something on ebay for £22. You send it Royal Mail 1st class. Item never arrives - lost in the post. You submit a claim to RM with receipt printed from ebay account showing item sold for £22.
RM insurance payout = £0
Scenario 2
You buy some clothes online that cost £60. They arrive and don't fit so you send them back using RM 1st class recorded (signed for) as the shop doesn't offer a free returns label. Items never arrives back to the shop - lost in the post. You submit a RM claim with shop receipt showing clothes cost £60
RM insurance payout = £0
You get the picture!
Standard post covers items to £20
Recorded 'signed for' delivery covers items to £50
I always thought that if the item was worth slightly more, then if you had to claim you'd only get up to that amount e.g. £20 or £50; but in fact if your item is worth 1p more you get absolutely FA!!! So if you send something that cost £50.01 1st class signed for, and it goes missing you get £0.
What a total ripoff
