The only reason to pay for tracking is that you would lose too much money (or emotional ease) if there is a Not Delivered claim.
If your cost for shipping untracked is $5 and for tracked is $10, but your cost (including fees , etc) for the item is $1, then whatever you sell it at, shipping untracked loses you $6 . Shipping tracked costs you $11.
Would the higher cost of tracking reduce the number of sales?
If you rarely have INR claims, or if you are losing sales because of high shipping, perhaps tracking is unnecessary.
Which makes the discussion of how well Small Packet is tracked moot.
I'm not sure when they changed the payment email but this little disclaimer shows up now. I lost track with all of the changes like that that have been made recently.
Ship your item with a tracked service within 1 day, the handling time you promised in your listing, so you’re protected in the event of a claim or dispute—and don't forget to update the tracking information. Most transactions are covered by seller protections, but this only applies if you use a tracked service.
To my mind you only ship with a tracked service if the items worth it and if the customer paid for it. Making the 1st part moot and the 2nd part the sellers responsibility.
