I really need to know if it costs extra for a tracking number. I send stuff through Ebay, I know they have delivery confirmation but that costs extra, but what about tracking numbers? I have someone making a bogus claim against me and I have never needed to use tracking numbers but this woman is trying to have her cake and eat it too (keep her item and then get the money back)!
There are no tracking numbers unless you ship with delivery confirmation or priority mail. If you print your labels online through ebay you can get delivery confirmation for somewhere $1.00 per package. It allows you to have proof that a package was delivered. Delivery confirmation is free with priority mail packages. If you ship overseas the only way to provide proof of delivery is with express mail - but that is extremely expensive and buyers will not purchase. So your best bet is to purchase insurance on all overseas packages so if someone has a loss claim you are covered. You can purchase insurance through the post office on most packages.
