Re: Is it the buyer's responsibility to insure an item if they are returning it?

I see from the Paypal Buyer Protection that it is the seller's
responsibility to ensure that an item gets to the buyer (i.e. they
should pay for insurance if the buyer doesn't want it).

No, that's not what it says. Insurance has nothing to do with it.
Delivery confirmation/tracking.

Then what if
the buyer returns an item to the seller (at the buyer's expense), but
didn't pay for insurance, and the item gets lost? What happens?

When YOU returned the item, did you use online-trackable
delivery confirmation (USPS) or ship via a system that includes
that service automatically?

Insurance protects the shipper (which in this case, would have
been YOU).

Why do you think those rules do not apply to a return?
