Though it sounds silly to insure a $1 item - here is a "possible"
answer....... If it arrives broken or it is lost - then a refund has to be
made by "someone"! The seller "may" be counting their time and packing
materials in the cost (which can add up) and wish not to lose out in the
event of any problems.

If you use Priority Post and create a label on the website you get tracking
for free. Unless all of the packing etc is included in the item price it
isn't covered by insurance.
