Tracking for digital items
 

Wondering about options for tracking numbers.

Usually I just mark as a shipped and wait 3+ weeks for the hold, but I’m thinking if I get suspended they will hold for 6 months or not payout at all.

I have quite a bit of money on 3+ week hold at all times, and I know suspension will happen eventually, so trying to reduce the amount of money I end up losing..

Seems like thank-you letters are an option, but I don’t live anywhere near my stealth address.

are these orders going overseas?
Tracking from Canada to US is not that expensive.

if you use usa tracking it will work , it does not matter where in the US you send it from

what do you sell?
Yu can ask AMZN to ship for you like PHD did,take them to an AMZN warehouse cross the border.
Or Engage someone in US to stock and ship your items with US tracking

They are mostly Canada to USA

I wonder if its the same in Canada. Maybe I can drop a stack of letters off at the post office once or twice a week

Re: Tracking for digital items
 

do you send digital only in canada?

Re: Tracking for digital items
 

if you live near the border,you can drive to a US post office and drop them off,but your shipping labels have to be USPS labels with tracking,it would cost you around $US 4?
what do you sell and how heavy are they?
why is Ebay holding your fund for 3 weeks?

Re: Tracking for digital items
 

It can be due to minimum requirements for tracking - your option of crossing over to USA for mailing inside USA is much better option.

Perhaps a courier company can do it with the aid of a person/service in USA

PHD did,he drove a trailer to AMZN warehouse in US and let AMZN did the shipping for him.
I have heard of a lady in Canada near Nigara Falls,she drove to USPS office to mail her dvd to US buyers,but then one day USPS wants her return address to be an US address which she does not have.and she does not want to open a mail box,not sure if foreigners can open a mail box with USPS.
something is wrong if EBay is holding your fund for more than 3 weeks?

Foreigners can open a mail box with USPS - I have done so. The rates at local mom and pop post offices are better though
