Trackable shipping + PayPal

Options
Advice please - I will shortly be despatching a parcel that will probably be paid for via Paypal.

At what level does Paypal insist on trackable shipping these days? It used to be £36, then £45, but I can't find the info I need on the Paypal website :(

Many thanks.

    For complete seller protection all parcels need to be tracked- btut as special delivery is so expensive many people just use standard mail and keep the COP in case of loss.

  • anything payed by PayPal needs to be tracked,
    for economy tracked services try myHermes, collect+ or royal mail business accounts get a special tracked service
  • Having just been advised to return an item by paypal I was told to return it tracked.

    I would return it tracked

    Paypal can't insist on anything. And never did in any days.
    If you are sending items over £46, send them tracked. If not, you may put buyers off if you lupm the cost on to your charges.

    Just remember to keep all your POPs for a minimum of 180 days in case you need to refund the buyer and claim the loss from RM.
