Adding a tracking number is the step that tells everyone your parcel is genuinely on its way. It’s quick to do, and it’s important — it starts the clock on your payout.
How to add it
- Open the sold order in your dashboard.
- Choose Mark as shipped.
- Pick the carrier you used from the dropdown.
- Enter the tracking number from your postage receipt or label, then save.
What adding tracking does
- It starts your payout clock. Your payment is held safely by Preloved Bazaar, and the release window only begins once you’ve marked the item shipped. Adding tracking doesn’t pay you out straight away — it starts the countdown.
- It lets the buyer follow the parcel right through to delivery.
- It protects you by showing the item was sent, should any question come up later.
Good to know
- Add the tracking number as soon as you’ve posted — the sooner it’s in, the sooner your payout window starts counting.
- Double-check the number matches your receipt so the buyer’s tracking works.
- If you don’t mark the order as shipped within 7 days, it’s automatically cancelled and the buyer is refunded in full — so adding tracking promptly protects your sale as well as their confidence.
