New eBay Standard Envelope

I have shipped a few times using this service and had no issues.
You can actually track it here

As far as postal employees not nothing anything, that is usually the case. Most of them still don't know you can ship up to 16oz by First Class through eBay shipping.

You can see the progress in your My eBay Manage paid and shipped orders section as shown below.

Most of these scans are not actual scans of the item.

The in transit scan is generated by one label at the outgoing PO. The clerk scans the label when the truck leaves, and all of the items that were accepted that day show up as in transit.

The out for delivery scan is not an actual scan of the item. When the carrier is ready to go on the route, he/she scans a barcode that says "out for delivery". All packages that are assigned to the carrier will show updated "out for delivery" scans, but the packages were not actually individually scanned.

The 2 procedures above also apply to packages, not just the envelopes.

When the carrier returns from the route, he/she scans a barcode label that says "Return from Route". This updates all of the letters to show as "delivered". This does not apply to packages because they are individually scanned as delivered. So, your envelope was not actually individually scanned as delivered.

Rick, thanks for this additional clarification. I hope eBay accepts this "delivered" of a PWE and protects a seller against a purchaser who claims non delivery. To me, this eBay labeling & tracking process makes selling inexpensive cards much more attractive to me.

Honestly, for sub-$20 cards, I am not going to sweat whether the 'delivered' means scanned or not. As long as eBay is happy with the delivery and protects me from claims of non-delivery when it shows as delivered, not my problem.

The 1st batch of these I used actually showed up as 'tracked' before the regular packages I put in the same mailbox at the same time that same day. Weird.

At UPS, we call these PHYSICAL scans and LOGICAL scans. Packages are scanned into a container via PHYSICAL scan and then that container is assigned to a plane and maybe bypassed at another airport to another plane. That would get a LOGICAL scan then and anything in that container would get the same scan. Sounds like you all have something similar there that all the letters are assigned to a delivery truck/route and they just get those LOGICAL scans when they go out and when they come back.

I'm with Adam on not worrying about it as long as eBay accepts those scans as gospel and doesn't start charging me back for shipments people say they didn't get.
