An easy way to think about this (for me at least) would be to think in terms of transferring liability to another party.<p>Who&#x27;s responsible for the package&#x2F;order when the package gets left with the neighbor? Would the liability&#x2F;loss transfer to the customer if the package goes missing when the neighbor supposedly has&#x2F;had it?<p>If you&#x27;re a seller on Amazon&#x2F;eBay and shipped the package yourself, the liability of the total value of the package is with the seller, unless you purchase insurance or signature tracking information.<p>For packages 13+ ounces (0.36+ kg), USPS automatically provides insurance up to $50 when sending packages Priority Mail (w&#x2F;restrictions):
