@meghow-7185 You'll still get paid if you ship with postage stamps but be sure to mark the items shipped within your stated handling time. Funds will be held the full 30 days before you get paid when there's no tracking.
I see you are selling trading cards. I recommend giving eBay Standard Envelope shipping method a try. it is a tracked meter mail shipping method.
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.
