Can you buy usps insurance after you ship an item?

I sold a iphone on amazon and it has not shown anytracking since march 1st and i shipped it on february 28th. It has yet to show delivered Can I still buy insurance?

It is only a week. Did it go to another country or did you ship by Parcel Post? As long as you bought delivery tracking it will show up in the US You can't get insurance since you no longer have the package.

Unfortunately, no you can't at this point. But try not to get worried about it-it really hasn't been that long. I've done alot of selling on ebay, & often times there will literally be nothing on a package for days after I dropped it off, & then all of a sudden, it shows up in the system. Or I've had times when I've bought stuff, & literally there will be no updates for several days on the item, even when it's delivered. So this type of thing happens all the time. I know often times you'll see an update in one day on stuff, so you think in 3 days there should have been alot of updates, but this happens. Your package isn't sitting there, it's still in transit. Depending on where you shipped it & how you shipped it, it'll most likely be there soon.

No. That would be like buying life insurance after someone died… Or at least while they were in the ambulance to the hospital.

  • Who is responsible for buying Insurance on an Ebay item? I bought a 500 dollar Iphone on Ebay and it was lost in the mail. I've gone to the post office about it because it was their fault, but they will only pay 50 dollars for a 500 dollar mistake because there was not insurance bought on the package. Is it up to the buyer to buy insurance on a package, or the seller?
  • Should i ship via, ups or usps? I sold an iPhone on eBay for 240 dollars. I will be shipping it tomorrow. He paid 15 usd for shipping but i have heard bad things about shipping via USPS. Should i ship it via ups and pay about 23 dollars?
  • SHOULD I SHIP MY ITEM TO THIS SUSPICIUS BUYER ON EBAY? Today I sold and Iphone 4s on Ebay and everything was working out just fine, the buyer payed like usual. Then, the buyer messaged me and said "I accidentally put the wrong address. Can I change the address?" I replyed and told him/her "NO". I then went to paypal to see if it my funds were pending and they was. I also looked at the buyers buying history and he didn't have any. He joined August 14, 2014. Do you guys think I should ship the item or contact ebay?
  • I was curious if someone purchased an item but when the item was delivered no payment was received, is this illegal? Thanks for opening my question, I'm curious because I used an app called letgo and sold an iPhone 7 plus for $300. I agreed with the buyer if he showed proof of sending money via moneygram he agreed he would tell me the reference number after it delivered to him. Well it delivered and I have no contact. I have his address, if I report this too the police will they prosecute it?
