Reminder: AuctionBytes does not endorse the products and services featured in the "This & That" column, which often features new Web sites. (Anyone can set up a Web site.) Fraud is becoming widespread in the online auction world, and you should think twice before giving private information or User IDs and passwords to any third party.

2) USPS Click-N-Ship Offers Insurance
By Ina Steiner
USPS said customers who use its Click-N-Ship online service to buy postage can also purchase up to $200 worth of insurance online for domestic Express Mail and Priority Mail packages. USPS insurance purchased online works the same and costs the same as retail insurance. For insurance in excess of $200, customers still need to visit their local Post Office. Insurance purchased online cannot be combined with insurance purchased at a Post Office.
