speaking as a seller, I only use USPS for international. And I don't offer it on anything expensive. I was not aware FedEx was anywhere close to USPS in cost for overseas.
I think tracking is mostly a benefit to you as the seller, since you are responsible for getting the package there and proving it was received.
As a buyer I would not care, as long as it got there eventually.
ETA - I just checked FedEX for a 1 pound package going from USA to UK and came up with $82. A far cry from the USPS flat rate boxes.
