right, they are supplemental, add it to your other insured value.

I done several over $2.5 the past couple of months. You can add up to $1999.99 on ebay with USPS then I add the other with insurepost. I also believe you can add more using GDX.

Don't message sellers asking for a print's number. Let it be a surprise, there are so few of those in life.

yeah that’s kind of strange, unless the print is part of a set and the buyer is shooting for matching #s or something

i've had that happen multiple times for a variety of stuff. i just ask if they are looking for a particular number and i can check to see if it matches. i blocked buyers for repeated messages inquiring about it. such a time waster.

i just recently noticed the final value fee assessed is only on the purchase price of an item that offers free US shipping... no fee is assessed on the INTL shipping portion if it was an INTL buyer. wonder if that is an oversight or intentional. not a huge deal, but just an anomaly.

I don't get why people hide the number on prints that are years old. 2005 Obey....hidden number.

I always hide them because I've had other sellers "borrow" my photos for their listings before, and once I got a post-purchase question from a buyer who'd bought a 5-year old print from me and then noticed the same-number print apparently sold by another seller. Fortunately I had the original invoice and sent it to him, but I could see some potential for provenance claims otherwise.

That is a reasonable explanation

Guy claims he never received notice that his $1600 prints were waiting. On USPS end it says that delivery attempts were made

Several of these
Attempted Delivery Abroad

On the Parcel Force site it says this:
Customs charges raised
Revised Customs charges raised
Awaiting payment of customs charges
Returned to sender - Customs charges unpaid

Why would they raise custom charges?

I guess he just didn't want to pay?

OF course he filed PP claim as item not received.

Not an anomaly; this is why some folks try to charge a very small amount for an item and a ridiculously high shipping charge.
