I just read through an entire post related to this (one that no longer accepts
replies). A few minutes before reading that thread I placed an order where the
seller did not offer an option with tracking, that I saw. I did accept all of
the default options and didn't change any options from what the seller defaulted
to (including pay by paypal). When I saw that shipping did not offer tracking,
I looked at my total, and decided it was well within my risk limit especially
for a seller with thousands of feedback, high percent of positive, and mature
responses to the very few non positives.
The seller is in Belgium.
Postage was 8 Euro (low for an international order)
I am curious how much more shipping would be with tracking.
I am curious as to the usual difference in postage cost with tracking vs non
tracking from European countries to the US and within the US.

From Ireland, a standard non-tracked shipping cost to the US of €8 would be €15
with tracking using An Post (Irish postal system). But generally the larger the
package, the less of a difference between non-tracked and tracked rates.
Of course, shipping costs can vary from store to store depending on how sellers
set up their pricing and what postal service they offer.
