This is copied and pasted from the listing and he is very clear about the insurance.

.INSURANCE IS AN OPTION & IF NOT PURCHASED I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE DURING SHIPPING.i try to pack really well using one or more of the following-bubble wrap,peanuts,air bags & paper...


I am sorry you are having problems with the shipper and hope you can get it settled, but I do not think it is right to bash this guy on this board because he shipped a part that has gotten lost in the shuffle, happens EVERY DAY.
It still may show up.

You are right..I was pissed an got ahead of myself. Still, it's only right to provide a refund. I could see insuring a high dollar product. I'll edit out my original posting

With all due respect, as long as he has the insurance disclaimer and you chose not to buy insurance no matter what the price of the part was, you are on your own. I sell stuff on eBay and under the same circumstances I would not provide a refund either.... The seller doesn't have any more control over what USPS, UPS, or any other shipper does any more than you do. That's why insurance is an option for the buyer.

Just my 2¢ worth.

My final note to him was an apology for overacting. You are right, he has no control. I cancelled my claim and asked him to request a feedback revision. In the end I will eat the loss. That sucks. Live and Learn.

It really does suck, big time! but you were big enough to realise and admit it was not his fault....it's just the risk we all run, to insure or not to insure.
I hope you get a really sweet deal on something else down the line that cancels this one out.

Shipping insurance is the seller responsibility no matter what he puts as a disclaimer in his ad. Receiving the item in good shape is up to the seller.
I always work the insurance into my items $$ as well.
