I dont know the pricing or weight of your items but if you use first class shipping, tracking is already included in the price, if you print the labels from ebay/paypal.
If no tracking is included, your buyers can turn around, file a "did not receive" claim on you and you would have no proof of delivery. Get enough of those and, kiss your account goodbye.

Never have or ever will use tracking.
No problems here. Maybe one out of 300 customers complain,
but it is rare. Mostly honest buyers out there, but I guess that
depends on what you are selling.

Tracking info is usually for items over a certain price point. Some things are not profitable enough to add tracking. Its just depends on the items you sell and price point on them.
My items are expensive enough that I use tracking 100%.
If you use Amzn for your shipping, it provides one for you. It doesn't cost a lot for tracking, so I don't know why you wouldn't. When I purchase something and there is no tracking it bugs me to no end. Don't be cheap, provide them some comfort of where their package is.
I have not been banned for not putting in tracking info - yes, it helps for the buyer to see info but - technically - as long as buyer receives item and you have prove of it, you should be ok.
If using USPS mail it is FREE..... Why would you not use it just to be safe? Unless your items are being as a first class letter then its not eligible for tracking but there are not many items like that so..... just use it!

You have to pay for tracking, but in most cases it is under $1.
I use the, "better safe than sorry" cliche. With my stamps.com online shipping, tracking is free for all the packages I ship. It does cost 15.99 a month, but after you ship a few hundred items, it more than pays for itself.
Tracking has been free on first class for a while and pretty much built in or very cheap for most other services. Its a customer service issue more then a getting banned issue.

For all first class packages or higher tracking is FREE with USPS now. This happened last time they raised rates. That is if you are using something like Stamps.com or printing through the Amazon site itself it is FREE.
Maybe if you are taking each package to the post office and have them add tracking then it might be more but that seems like a severe waste of time.
Thats cool - I guess I meant whether you use the .uk .com or .other platform...sorry if not clear
I sell on amazon.com only
I used to buy things from big seller on Amazon.com and some didn't send me tracking so I think it's ok, just make sure your buyers are happy and that's ok
I don't use tracking on a lot of items, that's why they're getting such a good deal. Royal Mail insures you up to a certain amount with standard mail anyway.

Delivery confirmation (so not even true tracking) in the UK almost doubles your postage cost on smaller items in the UK. So it's really not worth it if you are selling fairly cheap items with low profit margins.
Can I be banned for not using and or uploading tracking??.
