Of thousands of those I've had a handful last year that got lost (supposedly) and none this year so far. I was excited when it was announced last year for tracking lower cost shipments.Īfter reading a bunch of the sports card sellers feedback about the system and it's operation, it sounds and looks like a mess.Īs an example, most items $25 or under, I ship first class with no tracking. The advantage (to me) of this service is optimization and effeciency, along with the possibility of once again reaching the tracking requirements for Top Rated Seller, which I long ago stopped chasing due to the tracking requirements. I have both of these mailers from eBay and they are some of the most sturdy rigid cardboard mailers I have ever encountered. I am still concerned about the seeming disconnect between eBay's recommendations for mailers to use, which include their branded RIGID 5x7 and 6x8 mailers, and the requirement that these items be machineable, i.e., be able to wrap around the spindles in the sorting equipment. There is a lengthy thread in the eBay Community going back to December about this service: In all candor, I will be using this service with shipments that I would not have had tracking for anyway, and thus would have been vulnerable to nondelivery claims regardless, so any tracking is a bonus.
I have no firsthand experience with this yet. However, as there is (supposedly) $20 protection for single listing shipments and $50 for aggregate, you should be made whole by eBay in the event of a nondelivery claim.
Seller experiences are all over the map, with many items reported not being consistently tracked. You cannot get acceptance scans at a USPS counter and you cannot look up the tracking numbers at. Keep in mind that the "tracking" is done all via sensors at the regional USPS sorting centers.
