Hello I shipped my first order and I am seeing that it says “0% of 1 eligible order shipped on time with tracking or shipping label from Etsy.
Maybe I did this wrong but should I print a shipping label for stickers that are being sent in an envelope? Tracking info seemed a bit unnecessary …but I want to avoid this moving forward.
If you shipped it in an envelope with stamps, you didn't provide tracking or an etsy label, so etsy has no way to know you shipped it on time. That's the way the metric works, and how it is recognized. If you want to continue shipping in an envelope with a stamp, then do not worry about the star seller badges.
I had an order from Germany canceled and refunded before it was shipped. I was never charged for shipping, no label was created and now I have lost my 5 star rating because of shipping that was canceled. I would love to have my account corrected,
If you canceled before the ship-by date, that should have cleared.
If you canceled after the ship-by date, it was still late.
If you refunded, but didn't cancel, it would also show late.
If you are being dinged, it was likely 2 or 3.

Thank you!
I think you can purchase 1st class envelope postage through Etsy that they will then mark your order as shipped if you are in the US.
