Need to send back some defective goods back to seller. I need it tracked.

Its a small item that fits in a regular letter mail. Whats the cheapest to get this shipped there tracked.

Went to the post office and the cheapest I could get was $50 and it would take 3 months because its by boat, but it comes with tracking.

That sounds like a slow boat to China.

You do not say how heavy the item is, that makes a difference on cost. Registered mail is your cheapest option at $15.25 ( + postage ). It travels by air and you can track it into China.

I'm not sure where your PO is, but it sounds like they need some serious retraining, $50.00 by surface ?? Not possible !

" I need it tracked."

Why?

What is the value?

The $50 is the cheapest way to send with del confirmation with CP. But that may take so long the del confirmation doesn't help

"registered" is for letterpost, and letterpost is for documents

Because Paypal says they need proof that I sent it back.

Value is around $50.

Its very very light and thin. Weights like 50 grams.

I will go to another location see if I can ship it by registered mail.

But yes, the woman said that if I want tracking its either $50 by boat or $90+ by air

It all better be worth it. Personally, I would first of all never buy anything from China and a few other countries and I certainly wouldn't waste 50 bucks to send something worth 50 bucks back. Makes no sense.

If the item is under 500g and less than 2cm thick, you can send it by registered lettermail. Technically, registered is supposed to be for lettermail anyways, but if you insist on sending it back with tracking you might as well send it as registered. It won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Delivery confirmation anywhere internationally is expensive. The $50 option is correct, that is the cheapest.

Ask Paypal if they'll take a scanned copy of a CN22 Declaration form as proof of shipment.That form is the form that is used to send by Light/Small Packet. That is an uninsured/untracked option. It would be much cheaper that way.

Correct Canada Post name is Letterpost outside Canada and Lettermail within Canada.

PayPal requires proof of delivery, not proof of mailing so scanning a CN22 form is useless.

Basically for a $50 item you either keep it or send it back letterpost untracked. Registered mail does not meet Paypal's requirements.

...and sending by surface for $50 will not work either even if it were an expensive item as the Paypal case would close in the seller's favour long before it ever arrived.
