How to get insured as a new eCommerce seller

New sellers can get covered without much history: choose product and general liability, get a quote priced on early sales rather than a large annual forecast, and bind a policy that scales as you grow. You do not need years of data, and pay-as-you-sell keeps the cost low while volume is small.
