For businesses or developers who want to integrate an eBay tracking API into their platform, you need to create an account on Ship24 first. Once created, you can choose between our two tracking API plans, We have a “per-call” plan and a “per-shipment” plan. Upon choosing a plan, you are given 10 free trials. The usage of each trial is deducted per shipment that has been tracked.

Please note that Ship24 is not capable of tracking eBay’s order numbers, it can still track the couriers that the seller has used. An order number and a tracking number are both different numbers so don’t be confused on which one is which. If you need some dummy tracking numbers to test out on your platform, you can shoot us a message and we’ll gladly provide you with some.

Once you have your eBay tracking number, you can use it to track your eBay parcel with Ship24. Tracking your eBay parcel with Ship24 will give you real-time updates on the status and location of your package.

Sometimes there can be some confusion between various other numbers and codes you receive with your purchase, such as the order number or the final bill. These are separate codes that can do not help you track your eBay parcel. Make sure you have obtained your eBay tracking number from the seller, and entered it correctly, in order to track your eBay package.

If you have not received the tracking ID or it cannot be found, buyers need to contact the seller because it could mean that there may be a mistake on the number provided or that the package has not been handled by the courier yet.

Buyers should note that sometimes it can take 2 to 3 days to receive tracking information due to a number of factors, including delay in processing, the seller has not posted it yet, the package has not been picked up, or other unforeseen circumstances.

eBay shipping methods depend on the seller's location and the size and weight of the package. Usually, when the products are shipped from the United Kingdom or the United States, the GSP (Global Shipping Program) created by eBay is used by the sellers and the packages are sent with Pitney Bowes (an American global technology company known for its mailing equipment). Whereas sellers located in China often use couriers such as China Post or again China EMS ePacket services.

All of these couriers use a variety of shipping methods including air, rail, road, and sea, all of which have an impact on the delivery time of the product. Generally, the faster modes of shipping, such as via aircraft, are more expensive. Orders sent via road or sea can take the longest. Although, if the final destination always plays a part, rural destinations also extend delivery timeframes. The seller should provide an estimated delivery time for the buyer upon purchase.

eBay orders generally involve many different couriers and this is why Ship24 is useful to allow buyers to track their parcels without having to enter their tracking number onto multiple courier websites. Instead, they can enter the code solely on Ship24 regardless of which courier is handling the eBay parcel and get instant information on its whereabouts.
