Wait guys, As of yesterday, using the feature when you click on "items sold" on EBAY and click add tracking link that is on every sold item listed, I have been able to enter in both kinds of customs forms numbers (for first class, the smaller form, or the larger form for priority) on overseas sales and seemingly that satisfies the tracking information issue.
Indeed tracking using customs form numbers only tells you when it has arrived at the overseas destination, and when released from customs. IT DOES NOT TELL YOU WHEN IF EVER DELIVERED TO ADDRESSEE. This may not ultimately win a dispute because signature wasn't required on delivery but at least its something but at least its something that seller can see that the item has been shipped and on its way......which helps assuage his panic.

It's one thing if they raise their rates (which > they've done many times). I can begrudgingly accept that.
