What is it that you're expecting to hear?
I don't contact buyers after a sale either. I just ship the item & when I do, the tracking is there, like @buyselljack2016 said & the buyer can check the tracking.
I don't think most sellers make contact, other than shipping the package.

However, I'm a hobbyist and just a little feller that still subscribes to the old school ebay platform in a category that's being fazed out quickly..
As an early eBay Buyer / Seller it's disheartening but as a stockholder I get it..
I've been selling here since 1997, so I'm pretty "old school" myself. I have no idea what's "disheartening" about it. In the early days, there were few automated emails that eBay sent, now there are about 20 for every transaction. Also, tracking was rarely used back then & if it was even avl, was an additional cost to purchase.
I see no need for it. When I buy, I already receive way too many unnecessary emails about my purhase. I don't wish to or find it necessary to, inflict one more upon my buyers. They send WAY too many as it is. Plus most buyers these days know how to track pkgs. That wasn't a thing at the dawn of eBay.
Of course, you should do whatever makes you happy, but I already hate how many unnecessary emails are attached to every sale, I'm not going to inflict any more on my buyers, when eBay automatically sends them.
In this particular case however, it seems OP forgot to mention that it is a pick up situation, so the answers would be radically different had they mentioned this hugely important fact.
