How do you confirm the buyer has received his item without a tracking #?
How does E-bay confirm the buyer has received his item without a tracking #? My item was small and inexpensive. The cost to add a tracking # was $6. The cost to have the product made, E-bay's fee, and the USPS stamp - my net profit was $1. Selling at a loss is not a good business strategy. So - how does E-Bay confirm receipt of an inexpensive item so I can get my $...?

It is included with USPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail.
You can use the "eBay Standard Envelope" service for letter-sized items, which offers tracking for a cost lower than standard package rates.

Mentor5 months agoWithout tracking, Ebay cannot confirm delivery of the item to the buyer.
Ebay can withhold your payout for up to 31 days without confirmation of delivery.
The tracking cost should be incorporated into your shipping charges the buyer pays when they purchase an item.
