Wanting to charge for a tracking number

[june_elizabeth1971]

Here's a new one.  I recently purchased a set of letters for my mailbox.  After 12 days they haven't shown up and seller didn't provide a tracking number so I could see where they are.  The seller said that he never provides a tracking number unless you spend $40.  He would "gladly" provide a tracking number if I paid him for it.  I informed him that when you sell on eBay and use their shipping services you always get a tracking number.  The seller argued and said eBay never provides a tracking number.  I've sold thousands of items on eBay and never once have I not been shown the whole details of the sale and shipping tracking numbers.  The seller shipped through USPS so there definitely would be tracking info available.   It's sellers like this that give eBay a bad name.  eBay should definitely ban anyone trying to sell tracking numbers.

Yup.

Confusion in the listing offering different services for different selling prices.

First Class is one shipping option that the seller uses. (not just left over from pre GA conversion) 😁

Confusion from buyers that think they can have a $5 purchase that includes $ 4 worth of tracking and about a $1 in seller fees😁

Correct on the lot of yap😁 Lack of clarity in their response. A case of "read what I mean, not what I write"😁
