Hi op. EBay in their wisdom inform buyers the number added is tracked. As all sellers know it is not tracked unless a tracked service is used. ie. Tracked 48,24 hour or special delivery)
large letters have a number added but are only updated when the item is delivered if the post person can be bothered to scan.
lots of customers think recorded is the same as tracked but it is treat like the example from above.
such a shame eBay can not update the system and inform buyers that it is not tracked.
Or will homers spider pig fly over first?
