In Response To: Re: eBay Beware of this buyer... ()

No, I don't have tracking info.
It was an $8.95 chip that I charged $1.25 shipping in a #10 envelope. Can't afford to pay for tracking on that.

I mostly sell cheap used stuff. If I go to the $2.25 shipping charge business model to send at the 3oz package rate w/ tracking, it kills sales of $1.00 or $1.25 priced chips. With this $1.25 first chip, .25 each additional chip shipping model I'm using, half of my sales have been Buy-it-Now purchases, and half of those for single items. When someone buys 3 or 4 items, I go to Bubble mailer $1.93 postage from PayPal shipping, even if I've only "collected" $1.75 or $2.00 for shipping.

Out of over 100 #10 envelopes sent in the past few months, this is the 3rd letter "lost": One to eBay's global shipping center (I'll bet they got it and lost it in their system, as it wasn't a "package"), this one (and I'm sure he got it, based on the other factors) and one payment sent for a transaction on this board.
