    The rate will based upon priority mail rates and not first class rates

    Nonsense. Anything not greater than 16 ounces may be mailed First Class.

    The 16 ounces is a commercial rate available, for example, via eBay.

    Unfortunately, Ebay and Amazon will not let you hand deliver as they require tracking number be posted in order to get paid🙄

    Don't know about Amazon, but eBay doesn't require a tracking number in order to be paid.

    Yep, I've hand-delivered a few eBay items over the years. I always have the buyer sign a copy of the packing slip as proof of delivery.

    Ok but you do have to post tracking number within the required time frame or you get penalized. That I am sure of!

    That's not true, either. I have shipped many (probably thousands) of coins without tracking. And without penalty.

    Only if you are a top rated seller. I have an entire account designed to not have tracking for anything. If you are below a certain level. You pay an extra 2% in fees, but it is not required.

    Yes it is. It affects your seller rating if you don't post tracking number on time. Fact......😎

    Depends on how you define penalty.

    I'm currently "Above Standard" but could be a "Top Rated" seller if I wanted to. Since it would cost me money to do so, why would I make the effort?

    For this requirement, we look at your transactions during the past 3 months. To be a Top Rated Seller, 95.00% of your transactions must have tracking uploaded within your stated handling time, in addition to receiving a carrier scan.

    There is no penalty for not being a Top Rated seller.

    Benefits. Top Rated Sellers receive enhanced visibility in eBay search results and exclusive seller protections. By becoming a Top Rated Seller, you will also be eligible to receive a Top Rated Plus seal that will be prominently displayed with your qualifying listings.

    I have one account that is top rated because of the 10% discount. Worth it for expensive stuff. I started a second account for cheap stuff where I wasn't using tracking so I could ship 1st class. Ebay standard shipping actually makes it possible to track those now, but at the time I started the account it didn't exist.

    I would think of it is getting benefits for top rated rather than getting penalized for being standard or below standard... but tomayto tomahto

    Not receiving a benefit is not a penalty. Visibility? Most of what I sell, there are only a few listed. I don't need enhanced visibility. Exclusive seller protections? Describe them and we'll talk. Top Rated Plus seal? I've got 25,000 positive feedbacks. I'll let that speak for itself.

    What else you got?

    You can only ignore five people. He probably passed that limit his first week.

    Agreed. I could see the thread was going way off topic and felt it was best just to end it when I did. 😎

    Sometimes you just have to admit you're wrong... or not, I guess.

  • moursundmoursund Posts: 3,207 ✭✭✭✭✭

    For anyone who cares,

    I repackaged my original uneven and thick envelope, but I also added some more coins to the shipment.
    Turns out it would cost about $5.50 at parcel rate, so I upgraded to the priority flat-rate $8.45 jobbie.

    The extra few bucks isn't as salient as making a trip to the PO...
    Now I have a couple of extra flat-rate boxes, so presumably I can prepay and print labels at home for next time.

    Thanks, CU world!
