I have been with EBay since it started, a very long time ago! The search function is near useless and even when you specify to only look in one country/location it will always default to China. To top it off, even when you find an item supposedly located in the county/location of choice, by looking at the location of the company, i.e. where it will be shipped from, it is still China. Next, the tracking system is run by a 3 year old. Only on one item out of 10 does it actually work. Most sellers just put random numbers or a non-trackable label number in the system. I have 7 items on purchase at this time. 4 are with UK Royal Mail, 2 are with Yodel and the last with something I knew was coming from China and has their tracking. All of the Royal Mail items have no updates, even up the the da of their arrival and when you take the shipping/tracking number to the Royal Mail tracking site, it will tell you that this item can't be updated until it is delivered. That is not package tracking! For Yodel, they show it is enroute to the carrier, which it will show until is delivered. This is not tracking either. Sadly the only one that is acting as a tracking number is the one on the slow boat from China. Sadly EBay has the world by the short hairs and they know it. They don't care and have sold out to the Country that sells the most products. i don't know if the company has been quietly bought out by the Chinese but they sure run the show now.
