I simply never, ever, ever send a parcel without tracking. Seeing as a purchaser of a $1 item's negative feedback stands up as strong as a $1000 item buyer's negative feedback, I always sell things with a bit more expensive postage so we have tracking. We might lose a few sales here and there by our postage being a couple bucks dearer than some others, but if it's going to save a world of stress, then so be it. If an item is so cheap and it's unjustifiable to charge a certain amount for postage on it as then the sales will never be made, maybe off-eBay selling would be better.
As soon as you upload tracking numbers Paypal automatically errs on the side of favour of the seller (it's all mentioned in Paypal's Seller Protection policy), as the seller has done everything possible to protect themselves and provide a safe, secure way of getting a parcel to someone. Posting something without tracking is not doing everything possible to ensure this.
I post about 40% of my items as letters. Never had one go missing yet.
Somebody said the other month that book buyers are honest, so maybe that's why.
I am certainly not reducing my profit on mass market paperbacks by $3, nor am I going to price myself out of the market by increasing those prices by $3.
As somebody said the other day, it depends on your market.
