I know this is a very old thread, but it comes up in google search in the top 3 listings for tracking via GSP and I figured others like myself may be reading them for advice.
Only recently did I get a website link provided to me that allowed me to track items via the GSP without the usual drama that still exists with this program now 2 years later, eBay don't care to fix the issues as it makes them a fortune.
It's still a rubbish program that is more expensive than USPS and Royal Mail for smaller items and much slower. Sadly, I have found by experience that Pitney Bowes actually repacks items to make them smaller which has resulted in 2 damaged items that were well packed by the seller when sent to Kentucky.
How do I know?
The seller sent me pictures they had taken when sent to Kentucky after I told them how they arrived broken and they weren't the same boxes nor packing. The seller knew how scarce and valuable these parts were for cars restoration purposes and didn't want to see something like that damaged.
Nearly all the packaging by the seller to protect the parts had been removed (each part bubble wrapped in its own box with nuggets also and then overpacked into larger box filled with foam nuggets) and then put into a single box with virtually no protection except a very thin layer of bubblewrap on each that allowed the 2 parts to move inside against each other. As one part was heavy and solid, the other light and fragile, the result was that both the extremely hard to find 44 year old car interior items were broken in transit due to the fragile item being broken by the heavy item and the heavy item having no protection got so badly handled it broke the box in a few places and was useless also.
Luckily eBay refunded once I provided the before and after photos, but not until quite a bit of drama and time, not to mention the disappointment of finding these parts in such good condition with the sad result on arrival.
Another item I had sent to me in South Australia actually got sent to South Africa by Pitney Bowes and was last tracked in Botswana. Ebay made me wait over 3 months for a refund continually telling me to wait and see if it moved from South Africa. The issue is that Paypal would have refunded if I had taken it up with them first, but because if you close a INR with eBay, Paypal won't help and then nor will eBay. Lesson learnt the long hard way and I bought the same item on Amazon cheaper and delivered in 9 days from USA.
Anyway, I digress. If anyone has tracking issues please try:
