As a seller, is it possible to add the option of tracking for buyers, without
insurance?

You can offer what you like through instant checkout. Insurance is for you.
If you offer a cheaper method with no insurance and the buyer chooses it, you
are still responsible for refunding if the parcel is damaged and returned to
you. So add / charge for insurance anywhere you would not be willing to refund
on return.

Doesn't tracking always come with standard insurance up to a certain amount?
its when the value of the package exceeds the standard insurance that you pay
for extra insurance.

Yes but it isn't much. £20 for tracked parcels and £50 for signed for. And
it doesn't necessarily cover things like the condition of the box of an expensive
set if it is damaged.

yeah but OP asked for tracking without insurance which I believe is impossible
because tracked always comes with basic insurance (but yes that basic insurance
doesn't cover a big amount)

Not here. You can get basic tracking that has no proper insurance. Royal Mail
will refund up to a small amount for loss or serious damage but it isn't
actually insurance, it is compensation for failure in service.

I use Royal Mail 'Tracked 48' delivers in 2 -3 days, cost is same for
Large Letter upto 750 grams, and it gives insurance upto £150

I go online to Royal Mails website, and do the postage there, it's a little
confusing to start with, but it does get easier! Once you get postage done online,
it's a quick visit to the post office, they scan it and away it goes!

I have a dedicated printer I bought from Amazon ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phomemo-Thermal-PM246S-Shipping-Compatible/dp/B0BX3CSK7K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1WBFKI2RFJ24X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qjrYPL5GVUODujSFPByXaaiKmvlKTzRGo3i-YblOh4fGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.PL0JFoXyp_HSm8jV1chXdjWWxTko32T2P5LLzxU8btI&dib_tag=se&keywords=pm246s&qid=1711650983&sprefix=pm246s%2Caps%2C245&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

I also bought a roll of labels ~ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08B3ZRCZF?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

Hope this helps
