Have you ever seen a 34 digit tracking number?

Recently bought a scooter and this is a big USPS tracking number. Hasn't updated in 4 days and is shipping from Sri Lanka to US. I've read that Fedex collaborates with USPS but I can't get updates on this tracking anywhere. Service code is 4202.

Don't wait - reach out to eBay on social media and explain the details.

A seller can not shut down their own account while they are stilll active so it suggests eBay has shut them down and this speaks volumes. Reps should be abel to speed up the INR process for you.

Sorry... I'm late back to this party. As @soh.maryl noted, the earliest you could start an Item Not Received claim is 8/3.

They're working on it. His account has been frozen by Ebay.

Yes...just within the past week or so...for a cat tunnel I ordered online (not from eBay).   Tracking indicates USPS all the way....from Carson CA to NJ and now in VA...closer and closer, heading in the right direction...should receive it this week.

But it's the only 34-digit tracking # I've ever seen...lol

A new Fed Ex tracking # is also 34 digits long, but only the last 12 digits are needed for tracking. There is another code embedded in the tracking # that tells what service it's for. USPS also uses 34 digit tracking #'s in certain instances and software.

They are a pain to encode if you create your own labels as in a wholesale environment, instead of using one generated by any shipping software one at a time. Especially if you have 400 cartons going to 400 stores Fed Ex ground.

Update. The package arrived today, a small pack of plastic pieces as others reported. Also I have no idea who Dudala Seop is.

I’ll be filing INAD for a refund with this unedited picture by the end of the day. What a huge waste of time.

Thank you all for your advice and following this post to the end.
