Shipping without tracking is pretty dumb though. I canât speak for Canada Post but in your neighbour to the south, USPS in my experience has lost about 3% of letters with handwritten addresses and about 1% of those with a computer-printed address.
Comment on I knew I should have cancelled the order đ

Iâve been permanently banned from ebay since I was 14.
Sold an original Alpha set of MTG cards for over $1k. Shipped it without tracking like a moron. Buyer disputed, claimed they never received it; ebay immediately refunded them and came after me for the funds. I said f that and walked away. They didnât do much to try and collect (not sure they even can against a minor in Canada), but banned my account.
Since; Iâve tried to make a couple other accounts once or twice, and buy or sell stuff. Those got removed and orders cancelled within 24hrs.

Yup, that was really stupid. A hard lesson learned for literally the first package Iâd ever shipped myself.
If I remember correctly though; ebay took the buyers side and refunded them before even informing me of the dispute. While I didnât have evidence to refute it besides a receipt for shipping, they hadnât really given me the opportunity to even try⌠Plus at 14 I wasnât willing to lose $1k and the cards. :/

While it does sound unfair, eBay policy requires you to upload a tracking number by policy. If there is no tracking number eBay will treat it as having never been shipped. This is laid out in their policy pages. You can only satisfy the shipping requirement by using a tracked service and the one indicated by the buyer.
Itâs a strict logical operation. eBay sides with the buyer unless all of the following are satisfied:
- A tracking number is uploaded within the specified turnaround time on your listing (I believe it defaults to 2 or 3 working days)
- The tracking number corresponds with the buyerâs indicated shipping service (ex. using USPS Ground Advantage when the buyer indicated Priority Mail will fail this requirement)
- The package was shipped to the exact address given to you by eBay
- The tracking status indicates âdeliveredâ or "available for pickup"
- If the order total exceeds $750, you required a signature for the package
If you fail any of the requirements, you are at the buyerâs mercy. Itâs harsh but itâs fair.

Note, this was over 15 years ago; their policy has shifted in that time. I donât believe the shipping requirement was that strict at the time.

So⌠You got some more mtg alpha cards kickin around�
Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca â¨1⊠â¨month⊠ago
That was well over 15 years ago now; I do not. Iâd imagine the price has also risen a tad, not something Iâve looked into in quite a while. (I had sold at a similar price to comparable sets on ebay at the time)
