USPS tracking number?

I just sold a book online, and I just shipped it with USPS, the lady at the counter asked me if i wanted to add delivery confirmation for 0.65 , but i declined since I myself wouldnt check it. does this now mean that i Have no tracking number? i mailed the package media mail, the slowest. help

1. Yup, if you want tracking, you have to pay for it. So there is no way to track your package without it. When I sell stuff I always use the delivery confirmation even if it costs a little more. That way you have proof that your package was delivered. You might consider UPS next time. The rates are about the same, but they include tracking on all their packages.
2. You should have a tracking number. May be on your receipt. Delivery confirmation will notify you when it has been delivered. That does not effect tracking. Check any documentation that the counter person gave you. For future reference when you are shipping something, always get delivery confirmation.
