How can I get an eBay tracking API?
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.
Ship24’s tracking API is highly recommended because of its fast integration and a dedicated in-house suppose to guide you with every step of your process. It offers so much more benefits as well.

What is eBay?
One of the first marketplace eCommerce platforms, eBay was created in California in 1995. Today, it is a multinational e-commerce marketplace that connects buyers with sellers, with a wide range of products listed ranging from clothing, toys accessories, furniture, shoes, office equipment, and cleaning products to software, electrical devices, televisions, gaming consoles, and celebrity merchandise. Sellers can be individuals or businesses and the popular eBay feedback and rating system gives consumers confidence in the online products.
The platform was also one of the first marketplaces that introduced new ways to sell products online, including silent auctions where sellers can bid on items against other users. It also introduced the ability to set a maximum price, allowing users to let eBay facilitate bidding for them. This means the customer is getting them the best possible price for the product while being protected from spending beyond their means.
This type of sale is additional to the standard direct consumer to consumer, business to consumer, or business to business sales.

Tracking a guest ordered package
Does anyone know how eBay shipping tracking works?
Item delivered but tracking number was never updated : Ebay
SpeedPAK tracking from Japan Issue : Ebay
I ordered a package as a guest and I want to track it, so I put in the guest order tracking request. When will they email me back with more information?
I have purchased a few cards recently through eBay that used the eBay tracking that shows vague delivery status updates. Multiple cards using this system have gone missing (or maybe never even been shipped?) and I’ve had to fight for refunds. eBay says “oh we can’t refund, it shows the cards were delivered” and I always have to explain that “Status: Delivered to zip code” is not proof I got the card because my zip code is thousands of square miles. How does eBay “track” my shipment and is anyone else avoiding PWE on eBay now because of missing cards?
