It depends on the cost you are insuring it for. I recently sent something that was covered for $50, and it was like $2.30 for insurance. 

Thanks.

It could sell anywhere from $90 to $150. 
I'm just trying to cover myself just in case. This would be the second time I sell on ebay.
Im a noob, lol.

I think the one thing I always considered when I tried selling on eBay is that insurance was kind of a way that I covered myself in case something goes wrong, an eBay buyer gets difficult, etc.  If I really wanted insurance on my item, it was likely because the item was a high ticket item.  Ultimately, what is an extra $2-4 on a purchase you are making 90-150?

I guess it makes sense because insurance keeps the transaction safe for everyone involved, but I always just viewed it like that.  I still don't understand why the "media mail" option caps shipping costs at a certain amount anyway.  It would sometimes cost me more to ship it after tracking than eBay would be willing to let me charge.  I just wasn't the best eBay seller ever.
