[GeneralQuestions] Priority shipping, how to

I've been a small-time vendor for a while under a different name. I haven't ever sent out a priority package, and because of this I am beginning to be scammed (I believe).

I have very good stealth, and no reason at all to believe that one of my packages would have been intercepted, but I've had 2 orders go into resolution because a customer said it did not arrive. I've given one refund and one reship, because anything is possible, but I'd rather not take the gamble on larger orders.

I'm happy that neither of these were super large orders, but I have sent out orders that are pretty big for my operation under first-class, and now this is beginning to worry me.

So if any knowledgeable buyers or vendors could help me figure out how to anonymously send tracked priority packages, I would be very, very grateful; and if this is a secret, I would be willing to pay to have a vendor share their methods with the community.

I know that I could use a fake paypal with a prepaid card, but from what i've read so far, it seems that will only work if I want the paypal shipping label (not the regular USPS label), and I would have to buy each label individually as the orders come in.

I am willing to do this if it is what it takes, but I'd much prefer to have a way of getting several pre-paid labels, and then printing customer info on them as the orders arrive. I know I can get free priority shipping labels and tracking labels from USPS, but then how do you pay for shipping? And if I print on a free label and put it on a package, is there another sticker I put on the package that is just confirmation that I have paid for shipping? And if so, how do I get that sticker anonymously?

I have done quite a bit of research, and I'm feeling rather defeated at the idea that dozens of scamming, cheating, lying, and worthless vendors that don't care for their reputation have been able to figure this out, and I still cannot. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something blatantly obvious, or if I suddenly don't know how to research a topic, but I'm sure you can see that I'm very stuck.

Dude.

Go into post office

Get priority mail envelopes. A fat stack.

Buy priority mail stamps. And some extra 10cent stamps.

Ask for the 400 Tracking Labels

Its so simple, you don't need to be a vendor to even do it

I heard about something that may help you, there's these things that look like little colorful stickers and are sold at the post office. Apparently people put them on envelopes and packages to pay the postage fee.

I think they're called stamps, try asking your post office if they carry any.
