The search function within Paypal is down right now, but it is listed within the "Seller Protection" policies.

That's why on my auctions I show shipping and handling as including insurance- the buyer doesn't have the choice seeing as it's me who will eventually be on the hook.

Edit- found it. (you may have to log into Paypal as this is an https address.)
Shipping and Shipping Documentation Qualification Conditions


The seller ships the item(s) to the buyer within 7 days of receiving payment.


The seller provides reasonable proof of delivery from an independent shipper. The delivery must be trackable online. Proof of delivery should show that the address shipped to corresponds to the address on the Transaction Details page (see 3.c above). If a reversal occurs, you will need to provide PayPal with the name of your chosen shipping provider and the online tracking number. For your convenience, PayPal provides a list of popular and currently approved shippers.


For transactions equal to $250.00 USD or more in value, the seller needs to provide a proof of receipt signed, or otherwise acknowledged, by the buyer. A proof of delivery from the shipper which does not contain the buyer’s signature or other acknowledgement will not be sufficient.

So, technically you are right with the no insurance thing. But with Canada Post tracking and insurance go hand in hand.
