Just wondering if we don't send SOD if they might be setting us up for an INR claim down track.

To be honest, I doubt it, as most people wishing to do INR from the get-go won't want a service that can prove delivery. 

If it helps any, I recently received an order and in the message to seller, the buyer had written "No signature on delivery!" or words to that effect, and my knee-jerk reaction was to think that maybe they had something planned and I should register it, but then I figured that maybe they're just trying to make sure they actually receive it without having to get to a post office and sign etc, and the item wasn't exactly of high value, so I sent it unregistered (that's what they paid for, anyway). That was several weeks ago now, so I feel fairly sure it was all good.

But, your buyer can't expect a $3.50 service to be complimentary, so I would do as CQ says and message them to explain this service costs extra, and you would be happy to arrange it after reinvoicing etc (presuming you are happy to do so). 

I actually have registered as an option on all my lower-value listings (higher value I include it in the shipping price), and while it's fairly rare for someone to select it, I'm often surprised that people will choose registered for low value items (I had one last week where the item was only around $4.00, but they still chose registered), and I reckon it can't hurt to have an extra option (presuming that there isn't a specific reason it's not offered, anyway 😄 ).
