Issues with Ebay Shipping Option
Has anyone had any issues with the Ebay shipping option listed below?
Standard Shipping (eBay Standard Envelope for Eligible Items up to $20)
I've got several of these that appear to be lost in a black hole with the post office and the tracking number doesnt provide any info. Any suggestions for how to track down or resolve without losing money?

The eBay Standard Envelope for select items $20 or under is a metered mail system. ONLY the sorting equipment can read the code.
There's no reason for you to take a loss if the tracking never shows delivery or if it's damaged in shipment then you file an insurance claim.
The most common reason for not having an envelope scanned is because it was not flexible enough to go through the sorting equipment and was considered non machinable. I know of a high volume card seller who said they put three sheets of white paper around the card in a plain white envelope to protect it while it goes through the sorting equipment then it stays flexible and is not damaged.
This post by a fellow Mentor has some screen shots and more information, including how to file an insurance claim, that you will find helpful>
