You've sold, what?, 27 items in the past year with an average price of about $20.
Does your profit on those sales disappear with this one loss? If so, you are doing it wrong.
Most of my sales are shipped without tracking and I rarely have a loss claim. I do however carry private insurance from Hugh Wood International, through our family business. This is an annual contract meant for dealers and serious collectors and would not be suitable for you.
Many sellers use shipsurance (I'm not sure of the name) who will do one-off insurance of parcels. Many sellers here have been happy with their service.
Or you can use Cookie Jar Insurance, the pet name for including a tiny amount to every asking price, to cover the occasional loss. If you add a whole dime to every price, then one $10 loss in 100 $10 sales still leaves you with $1000 dollars in your pocket.
The problem with using Tracking all the time, unless you are selling products of much higher value than you are, is that you are giving part of your profit to some third party for very little reason.
Don't take it personally, it's just business.
