I am in Oregon (USA). I want to buy a pair of speakers from a seller in Latvia. Listing ?

[wloren]

I am trying to buy a pair of speakers from a seller in Latvia.  He is claiming that he cannot

purchase insurance on the item and that I will only be reimburssed if the speakers never arrive (via USPS).

In the case of damage during shipment I would simply loose my money.  I wanted to call Ebay

to see what the policy actually is but there is nobody to call. 

Does anybody know what would happen to my money ($340) if the speakers never arrive or are destroyed

during shipping.

NOTE: seller had this item (pair of speakers) double listed (same serial numbers) and claimed it was an

accident.  I reported the duplicate listing but nothing was done. 

NOTE: seller had a $55 shipping fee listed for America and then prior to check out (I selected BUT IT NOW)

he changed the shipping charge to $95.   I told him that was too much and he changed it again to $75 for shipping.

NOTE: seller asked for my private email with no explanation why.   I told him that this was a voilation of terms

and he sent back a smile imogi.

Here is the item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-NS-044-NS-10-brother-Vintage-Hi-Fi-speakers-Excellent-condition/2334...
