@0ldgeezer Of course the buyer is going to want you to ship the cheapest way, doesn't matter to them if it gets lost or is too late turning up as they would win any dispute. Tracking is for YOUR protection and not the buyers and the only way that paypal can know who is telling the truth is when the seller provides trackable proof of delivery of the item to the buyer. A buyer can't escalate a dispute to a claim until 7 days post payment and most don't open disputes till at least a couple of weeks post payment, then once escalated paypal give another minimum (more for international sales) of 10 days for the seller to provide trackable proof of delivery. So that gives you probably about nearly 5 weeks to get an item to the buyer. If you can't manage it by then then you should refund the buyer and then claim off your postal service if you 'chose' to cover yourself in that way.
