Tracking Information not Updated China Post

I ordered an item on ebay a month ago,

I got a message it was shipped on 13rd of December. So everything is good up to this point.

 

The thing is, ever since December 13rd, my tracking information hasn't updated even to the point of "In Transit"

I asked the seller over a week ago if they really shipped the item, yet I got no reply.

 

I was wondering if it's a known issue when it doesn't update,

Or, could have I been scammed?

 

I purchased the item from a guy who is on ebay since end of 2014, and with a high reputation of 3739 gold stars + 96.1% positive feedback.

 

Thank you, and have a good day.

Yes, that looks normal. Sometimes my overseas orders don't even show that the package was deliver, even though I did receive it.

What do you get when you enter the tracking number on China Post's website?  With international tracking numbers, it's not uncommon for the tracking not to show up until the package reaches the US, but you can usually still track the package via the local carrier's website.

OUCH! A 96.1% feedback rating is horrible! As for the tracking, what is the last estimated delivery date? Do NOT let the seller string you out by saying they'll send you a replacement or to give it another week. You only have 30 days after the last estimated delivery date to open a case on eBay. Better yet, give it 29 days and open one.

I have ordered several items from China in the past, and the tracking has not been updated on any of them, but I did receive all items that I ordered. It does take a while. However, nobody here can say for sure if your seller is legit or not. Wait it out until the expected delivery time has past. Then do what you have to do. Open a not received dispute if need be. Just don't wait to long, so the time window to open a dispute closes on you.

Thank you for the information!

I went to their website and now I see that the item is in-transit

 

 

Just tell me if it looks okay, it's just that it's the first time I purchase something from ebay so I don't have experience.

Thanks for the information,
what I am most worried about is the time of mine wasted, I don't really care about whether I got scammed or not because I can just form that dispute as you said

I've never had anything shipped via China Post before so I don't know what it normally looks like, but that does look like it has at least been shipped.  Just keep an eye on the estimated delivery date... like takikawa said, if it doesn't arrive by then, you have 30 days from that date to open an Item Not Received case.

@hunyuk14, I've recognized that structure of tracking number from many previous order I've had, any tracking num starting with 'YT' followed by 16 integers is the tracking structure of Yun Express. After typing in your tracking number on yuntrack.com, data has appeared. 

 

I've been finding when the carrier is listed as CNDWA, the tracking numbers & waybill have been generated in CN, however, they aren't all using the same postal EMS service, so eBay cannot generate data to show.

Plus a lot of these shipments from China have false generated tracking data, as in relative terms it's more expensive to track EMS or similar shipments, so they show estimates of where the shipment is within their service.

I've had the same experience. Overseas tracking numbers often aren't actually tracked. My guess is the numbers are simply identifiers billing purposes.
