I think they were trying to infer that there experience is that some sellers have "not had the time/inclination" to follow up on an insurance claim.
This is of course nonsense as every seller should make it their job to act expeditiously on such matters if they value their reputation and have any wherewithal!
I think the thought process was that if the buyer provides the shipping and pays the shipping company direct then they have control if there is a problem and make their own insurance claim if there is a subsequent issue.
This is of course also open to abuse as the seller will now have no say in the matter if the buyer "claims" it was damaged in transit and may indeed end up with some old substituted junk shipped back to him if the shipping company goes that route.
Cynical yes, has it happened before, most assuredly.
