Why is it that a seller can post a tracking number? but when you try tracking there is nothing?

Maybe they haven't posted yet.....I have uploaded tracking on 3 items, but no point posting yet, due to Easter weekend. Ebay automatically 'think' item is posted once tracking has been uploaded....another enhanced customer experience (not)...nothing to do with seller....unless your item is coming from o'seas? That's a whole different ballgame

No I have items marked with a tracking number Aus post but not received by them? Now have they been posted and not scanned or not lodged?

wanda, it's the eBay system. Once a seller prints a postage label with their AP account, the tracking number automatically shows in eBay even though the seller may not have lodged (posted) it yet.
