strange track number from china

[tornado-gr]

i bought a bag and thew seller give a track number like this,

ID18021344401172CN

(i replace some numbers)

firstly have you ever seen track number like this?

any idea where to track the parcel?

[tarpedge]

It will only track on their website until the China courier claims it's been sent abroad.

Just think of it as a package ID instead, to tell apart multiple packages when they arrive at the same time. It's not a tracking number.

so i suppose, when a month runs out, and my bag not arrived,

i must prepare for a dispute in ebay system.

The seller tell me that they sent it, but i am little anxious 

cause it is not something cheap 😉

Buying from Chinese sellers is risky.  Think of it as placing a bet--don't go over your limit and never spend any money that you will mind losing because you very likely may lose it.

As it is, yes, you may have to open a dispute if the item fails to arrive.  Beware of the seller offering to "re-send" because they never do.  And come back to these boards for more specific advice before you agree to anything your seller asks.  These sellers can be very tricky to deal with when it comes to higher priced items.

i purchace it, in 3rd of Sep. - so my alarm time is aprox in 10 days.

The strange thing is that ebay remove my feedback button

and left a message in my orders something like this,

"We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction..." (but i already done it) and something more like that if i have any problem i could attend to the resolution center.

I never have an expirience like this, so thats why i am little anxious concerning the fact, that there is no track number.

When eBay removes a listing, you will see No estimate available shown at the top of your eBay order Details page. So you can start an item not received refund request right away.

On your Purchase history page, click More actions next to the item, then I didn't receive it.

yeah, i got it!

i am stand by in the next days,

if nothing comes, to activate this 🙂

If it helps at all, I have ordered many times from China, not usually on Ebay, but I have a couple of times for beads and things.

I have always received my items, and was never able to track my packages that I bought on Ebay.

They were never anything very expensive though.

If the listing was removed and it was a designer type item, it was proabably taken off because of the issues with all the 'fake" items being sold out of China.
