You might think you just need to manually enter the tracking number for the order, but the tracking number does not save. This means when either I or my buyer clicks to view the tracking, we get a blank page. Can you pack the items from multiple orders in the same envelope? Sure, but I don't know how that would affect an INR or insurance claim.Ĭon: There is currently an issue where the label generates, and you can see the tracking number in your shipping labels screen, but tracking does not tether to the order. This may change in the future, but there is no target date currently available.Ĭon: Related to the one at a time rule: you can't combine orders. I called to report this bug and got a call back to inform me that the system was designed to print one at a time. Sure, there's ways around this, but this eliminates the need for this particular workaround.Ĭon: YOU CAN ONLY PRINT ONE LABEL AT A TIME!! You can go to your orders screen and select all qualifying orders as you normally would to batch print labels, but then all but one or two fail to generate. Pro: Standard envelope through eBay labels eliminates one of my biggest headaches with Managed Payments: dropping hundreds of dollars in postage on any given week to send orders eBay for which eBay has not yet remitted payment.

Unfortunately, they still have a LOT of bugs to work out. I sell trading cards on eBay and have had the chance to try this new option. THAT BEING SAID, I OPENED A SECOND EBAY ACCOUNT JUST TO SHIP THINGS WITHOUT TRACKING SO AS NOT TO MESS UP MY METRICS ON MY MAIN ACCOUNT. We'll have to trust each other EBAY and the US Postal Service." "To keep the shipping costs to a minimum, I will be mailing this out in a #10 envelope with first class postage stamp no tracking. I USE 5 X 7 PADDED ENVELOPES, THIN CHEAP ONES, AND USE A 77 CENT STAMP MADE FOR NON MACHINABLE ITEMS, AND THEY GO THROUGH JUST FINE. I DON'T SELL MANY COINS, BUT I SELL A LOT OF LIGHT WEIGHTS ITEMS. COINS COULD GO TOO, BUT, EVEN ONE COIN CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN THEIR AUTOMATIC SORTING MACHINES AND SHUT THEM DOWN AS WELL AS DESTROY THE MAIL PACKET. THE USPS HAS MORE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN AN ENVELOPE AND MAIL. EBay Launches Cheap Tracking for Trading Cards
