does simple delivery protect me from loss when valuable items are sold?

[fashionista27]

How does simple delivery cover the entire value of items worth more than £150? The suggested postage is less than £4 while special delivery costs £9.75. Will ebay cover the full value of the item?

Sorry, it's a bit long, but worth reading this

and also the follow up referenced in it.

That way you can try to make your own reasonably informed decision.
