If you want to sell China stuff, then you could order from Ali Express basically anything and be able to sell at a very small profit.

If you want to be able to make a decent profit per sale, then you gotta follow the deal sites.

If you purchase from wholesalers the profit line will be really slim

It seems like wherever I can get products from I will only be making a few cents per product. It's not worth the money to be involved in it.

I have sold 5 different products from them (i will not give away which) and have made a profit.
Be creative...
1 usb card reader might not be worth much, but sell them in a lot of 5.
don't think of a typical screen protector, think out of the box, a specialty item.

Minimum $1.69 - it comes with tracking

As per eBay requirements to achieve Top-Rated seller status you need to use tracking.

You could print $0.46 stamps with stamps.com

Is it worth it to spend more money on shipping (by buying tracking) to become a top rated seller?

If you plan on selling large amounts of goods on ebay, then of course yes.

Why don't you return it? Or use your cc return protection?
