Just a quick question.

Within Ebay, if you mark an item as sent, manually, and at the same time you add the tracking number manually,on Ebay, then submit the update to the Ebay system, does the tracking number get sent to the buyer in an email as well as advising that the item is on its way? 

Hope it's not a silly question,as I usually use the label method, which is automatic for notifications to the buyer.
