I made a trade for an xbox live kit and he said he dident get tracking becasue it would be an extra 8$ , but i use ebay to sell ALOT(2-3 times a week) and tracking always cost below 50 cents no matter what I was sending how big or small, he sent priority which makes it 10 cents cheaper to get tracking(39 cents instead of 49), thats why he said he dident get tracking hmm

now I dont know if i should be nervouse about it now, cause I already sent the payment via paypal, and requested tracking 3 different times, and he said he would I even said I would pay a 1$ for tracking (below 50 cents) but now he said he sent it but it would cost 8 dollars so he dident worry about it
 
yeah, tracking with priority is only .39. Delivery confirmation requiring a signature is only $1.99. Nothing like that shold be $8.00.
 
If you print your Priority Mail postage from the USPS website, delivery confirmation is free [I guess that's not the same as tracking, but it's something.]
how much did he charge your for shipping? I have never 'needed' to use the tracking, but if my buyer wanted it I would do it.
 
Sounds like you're getting a raw deal. Tracking is deffinitely $.50 or below usually $.30 in my experience. Delivery conformation is important for trading an I dont think you should do the trade if you cant get it reasonably priced
 
Delivery Confirmation is not Tracking. USPS does offer tracking on one of there shipment options, and to upgrade to that shipment it may have very well cost $8. Or you're on your way to being hosed.
 
Problem is he said he was going to get tracking/confirmation, and I said I would reimburst him no matter how much it was, but it said it cost 8$ for tracking so he dident worry about it, im like but i was going to reimburst u anyways, sliped his mind i guess
 
What planet are you guys from?

Delivery confirmation is .45 cents with priority and .55 with anything else.

Or have I just not been to the post office lately?
 
ye si know its below 50 cents, i am a seller on ebay and have been for a year and go to the psot office every week, and I put it on everything i send, cause i got SCORCHED before

Well, everyone agreed with that point if you read the thread.. however I said Tracking is not DC, and to get true tracking it is highly expensive.
 
I think pretty much you can tack on every service the post office has like delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, return receipt, and $100 insurance and still not have it cost $8.

Ship it Express Mail to get real tracking.. it will cost you something like $30 (or $8ish if you go to your local UPS store).

Maybe he saw that you got 3 copies of amplitude and he didnt get his copy so he figured he would screw you on the deal
 
Are either of you in Canada? I was going to send an item I sold on Ebay to Canada, but they don't offer delivery conf. Instead, I would've had to go Express, which was like $20 instead of $3.
