§4.3 – Shipping Proof:
Unless otherwise agreed, physical orders should generally be shipped with a Tracking-ID.
However, a tracking ID alone is not sufficient proof of shipping, as fake TIDs exist.
herefore, it is recommended to record a video of the packaging process clearly showing the username, date, and buyer.
This is not mandatory, but may be decisive in case of disputes and work in your favor.
