new ebay tracking rules favour Amazon sellers Amazon seller will pick up all intentional sales

[ejewellerygallery]

so now we must use tracking otherwise a buyer can open a dispute and within 3 days they will receive a refund if there is no tracking on a parcel correct ebay ?

so the cheapest form of tracking for a parcel going overseas is about $13.00 australian dollars 

so how can we afford to charge our customers $13.00 on top of a $10 item for example now we are able to post a item overseas with a CN22 form that sometimes goes into the system and sometimes doesnt becuase Australia post is effeicent 

I believe all Aussie sellers on ebay will lose there international sales and there very clever Amazon comapny will pick up the sales

yeh your right dave. when I looked up aus post webite it said  no tracking with domestic letters.. that big red cross....

however if you now buy theri prepaid env. you can.

(just no registered/priority anymore)

The $5.95 B4 ones are cardboard, which reduces the need for at least some packaging.

The C5 are paper, unfortunately.

I only use prepaid envelopes. They work out considerably cheaper for the vast bulk of my items. Almost all are over 125g packed, so buying 50-packs at $2.52 each is worth the investment.

I only buy 10-packs of the tracked ones, as most of my sales don't warrant tracking.

you mean the C4 the large ones are cardboard?

[davewil1964]

B4.

Yes

still confused, none of the ones my PO showed me today in large size were cardboard.. and B4. do yours have a green strip on them? what do they look like please.

[davewil1964]

Yes, they have a green strip. And a tracking number starting with 'TMP19...' Apparently now they are claiming C4 - they definitely used to be B4.

They are headed 'Domestic letter with tracking'.

They've been around for a couple of years. Maybe buy them online from AP?
