Paypal/Ebay Tracking Info

I got a question. I have several small items that need to be delivered ( ex. gift cards, PIN numbers, etc). Currently, I am not making high profits (damn fees) on the items, and if I had to ship with tracking # then I will be making about $1ea in profits...not worth it.

So, what if I send probably a couple with tracking #'s and then use that tracking number on several transactions in paypal. Will they notice, and will that be a problem? My buyers wouldnt care... I just dont want to have sooo many transaction without tracking #'s and have Paypal give me an anal exam.

Of course paypal would notice...using the same tracking number for different orders to different people????? If your buyers wouldnt care than why do you need tracking to begin with?? Are you having that 21 day hold limit problem? If so, then the funds will be released within a few days of positive feedback. And there is no way for you to know if a buyer will give you a problem or not in advance, I have even had a buyer place an item not received paypal claim on me before a a $3 (YES three dollar) purchase because it wasnt shipped with tracking....and this was after she left me positive feedback and after she got kicked off ebay! If your only profiting a few dollars anyway you cant be selling these things to make money period, so why not use tracking anyway and keep your piece of mind....just saying....good luck though!

Don't do that. your accounts are worth more than a couple of $ . You lose them, you lose a lot more $.
Deliver them as usual, but after that think of a better plan to sell next time.

Good luck
