Posting expensive item to buyer in US sold on EBay

    If one sells an expensive item (circa 700 Euro) on EBay to an American buyer what is the policy with an Post regarding insurance and duty/customs?

    I notice that Courier Post with an Post, while almost twice the price of Registered, has the highest insurance at €350.00. Is there any point putting 700 Euro down as the value if I can only get insurance of €350.00 and the buyer gets hit with extra duty?

    When I sent mine the max you could insure was €350 no matter what you did. If your anyway concerned, talk to FedEx or UPS. But I think their values are similar to An Post.

    I have to ask about that next time I'm down in An Post. On further reading, I think that only appears to cover within Ireland.
