...paypal gift... ...if lost in the post its upto you.
You can't insist on PP Gift, although I assume you just mean that the buyer should pay any charges: ie PP *with *Buyer Protection +4%.
Your second point is absolute bollocks though.
If something is lost in the post, it is entirely your problem: it is you who have entered into a contract with the carrier, not the buyer.
In the same way that PP covers the buyer if things go awry, so you should cover yourself with Recorded Delivery etc.
You should bear the extra cost of RD, insurance etc (which is for your benefit), just as the buyer bears the cost of PP BP (which is for their benefit).
