Facing no tracking issues with star seller

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone is facing the same issue as i am. Am working towards star seller (might not be a huge deal in general but its my first time and im pretty excited about it) 

I’ve meet all the requirements except 95% shipping solely because i do not provide tracking. I sell stickers and some merch which are really small and light in weight, i offer free normal mail shipping and my buyers have all been good with that (i do have an option for tracking but most go for free normal mail anyways because tracking pricings are way too expensive). The % of my shipping status is dropping tremendously no matter how timely i ship my items. kinda frustrates me and im wondering if anyone is also facing this issue and how do i work around it?

Hello @GrumpyGuacamole 
There is no workaround. To achieve the Star Seller, you will have to send with tracking or you need to use an Etsy Label.

Re: Facing no tracking issues with star seller

You have to either have tracking, or use etsy labels

You are in Canada, and one of the few countries that have etsy labels.

You have a workaround, unlike many, you can use etsy labels, if the badge is that important to you

Re: Facing no tracking issues with star seller

tracking is expensive in a lot of countries outside the USA, 

not quite sure why, but etsy offers us untracked Royal Mail, we can't even buy tracked labels on etsy, we have to but them from Royal Mail, or the post office

@GrumpyGuacamole 

That is not tracking, it is delivery confirmation only, and as it's not usps, they don't scan

there are a lot of issues with it, and a lot of posts

here is one
