In some cases simply because I forget it, and in others because the shipping costs would be higher than the item price.

I understand what you mean, I pretty much feel the same way. If it were a unique item or something I had to have I might press a little more for it. In this situation, if I didn't ask for a tracking number or registered mail, I think I would leave a neutral instead of a negative.
I would also file a claim with PayPal to get my money back because sellers know that if they don't use tracking, they run the risk of losing the item in the mail and having to refund. That's the way it goes. PayPal seller protection rules put the burden of proof on the seller. No tracking number, no proof it was ever shipped and buyer gets the $$ back. This applies to US transactions, I'm not sure what happens if one or both parties are outside the US.
