Yes, it is possible to keep track of your eBay order, even if a tracking number isn't provided. When the seller chooses a shipping service with tracking, you can easily access information about the courier and the present location of your order directly on the eBay website. In cases where the item is dispatched without tracking, you will still have access to the estimated delivery date for your package. Monitoring the delivery status of your order is simple through your Purchase History on eBay's website. For those who made a purchase as a guest, you can conveniently track your eBay package by referring to the order confirmation email sent by eBay.

An eBay ID number and an eBay tracking number are not one and the same. The eBay ID number, also referred to as an item number, serves as a 12-digit code assigned to each listing that sellers create on eBay. This applies whether the listing involves auctions or immediate purchases. This identifier is visible on every listing across eBay, signifying its uniqueness per listing, rather than per product.

On the contrary, an eBay tracking number carries a different role. It functions as a special code that grants you the ability to monitor the journey of your orders as it travels toward their destined shipping address.

When your eBay tracking number isn't updating, there could be many factors contributing to the lack of progress in tracking information. One reason is that the seller might not have uploaded the tracking details onto the eBay platform yet. To address this, reaching out to the seller and requesting them to input the tracking information could be a suitable action.

Moreover, delays within the courier's tracking system might be causing the information to not get updated. If you made a purchase without logging in as a registered user, you can still track your order's progress through the confirmation email you received from eBay. If this email is unavailable, you have the option to ask eBay to resend you the link to your order details for further tracking assistance.
