what shipping option do I select if I want to ship stickers through letter mail?

Hello, I am interested in selling stickers but I am just confused about how to ship stickers using untracked letter mail. I see most sellers selling stickers with FREE SHIPPING standard shipping options, but I do not see this option for myself when I list an item.  The only options I see are all USPS, fedex and UPS related options. Is there any other way for me to ship stickers using untracked letter mail? or am I missing shipping options?

Letter mail is USPS shipping.

If you want First Class letter mail, you would specify a flat rate in the listing and then specify the cost of your stamps.  The problem with that, though, is your seller metrics are going to get messed up for not having tracking and then if a buyer decides to put a claim in on you you won't have any recourse (no tracking means you didn't ship it!).

 

The Ebay standard envelope ( https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/shipping/ebay-standard-envelope.html ) might be able to address this issue adequately?  Can't think your stamps are going to be more than 3 oz?

Shipping isn't free, you still have to pay for it.  It is free for the buyer.  I personally wouldn't ship anything without tracking, as you are not protected if the buyer says the item is not received.

PWE (plain white envelope)  by stamped letter rate and USPS is a great option for low value items; I have used it often. Tracking doesnt make sense for $1-3 items. Just be aware that you will have to self-insure against the (very rare) INR cases.
