When you’ve scored a great deal on eBay US, the excitement doesn’t stop at checkout. For Singapore buyers, the next big question is: “Where’s my parcel now?”
Tracking your order ensures you stay updated on its journey, know when to expect delivery, and can quickly resolve any shipping issues. In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how to track eBay US parcels to Singapore, whether your seller ships internationally or you’re using a forwarding service like Buy&Ship.
Why Tracking Your eBay US Parcel Matters
For cross-border shoppers, tracking offers:
- Peace of mind — know your parcel’s current location and estimated delivery date.
- Problem detection — quickly spot delays, customs holds, or misrouted packages.
- Efficient planning — arrange to be home for delivery or prepare to pick up from the collection point.
Without tracking, you risk being caught off guard by late arrivals or missing items.
Understanding eBay US Tracking Basics
When a seller ships your order, they will typically upload a tracking number to your eBay account. This number:
- Is generated by the shipping carrier (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx).
- Allows you to monitor the package’s status on the carrier’s website.
- Updates in near real-time as the parcel moves through the network.
Where to Find Your Tracking Number on eBay US
- Log in to your eBay account at eBay.com.
- Go to “My eBay” and select “Purchase History”.
- Find your order and click “Track package”.
- You’ll see the tracking number and the shipping carrier’s name.
💡 If there’s no tracking number, politely message the seller to request it — especially if it’s been more than 3 business days since dispatch.
Common US Shipping Carriers & Tracking Links
- USPS (United States Postal Service): https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction
- UPS: https://www.ups.com/track
- FedEx: https://www.fedex.com/en-us/tracking.html
- DHL Express: https://www.dhl.com/global-en/home/tracking.html
Each carrier’s system may display slightly different tracking updates, but the milestones usually include “Accepted,” “In Transit,” “Out for Delivery,” and “Delivered.”
How Tracking Works with Buy&Ship
Many eBay US sellers only ship domestically. If you’re in Singapore, you can use Buy&Ship to bridge the gap.
Here’s how tracking works in this case:
- Seller to US Warehouse – Seller ships to your Buy&Ship US warehouse address. You can track this leg on the seller’s chosen carrier website.
- US Warehouse to Singapore – Once Buy&Ship receives your parcel, they scan it into your account and provide a Buy&Ship tracking number for the international leg.
- Singapore Customs to Doorstep – Track your shipment on Buy&Ship’s platform until it reaches you.
Decoding Common Tracking Status Updates
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accepted | Carrier has received your parcel. |
| In Transit | The package is moving between facilities. |
| Processed Through Facility | Parcel is at a sorting centre. |
| Departed Shipping Partner Facility | It’s on its way to the next hub. |
| Arrived at Destination Country | The parcel has reached Singapore. |
| Held at Customs | Awaiting clearance or inspection. |
| Out for Delivery | Courier is delivering today. |
Knowing these statuses helps you understand delays and avoid unnecessary worry.
What to Do If Tracking Stops Updating
Possible reasons:
- Package is in customs clearance.
- Weather or operational delays.
- Tracking system lag (common for cross-border shipments).
Steps to take:
- Wait 48 hours — sometimes updates appear in batches.
- Contact the carrier with your tracking number.
- If using Buy&Ship, check their platform for more recent scan updates.
- Reach out to eBay seller support if the package hasn’t moved for 10+ business days.
Combining Multiple eBay US Parcels for Cheaper Shipping
If you buy from different sellers:
- Ship all items to your Buy&Ship US warehouse.
- Use their consolidation service to combine multiple parcels into one shipment.
- This reduces international shipping costs and gives you one tracking number for the entire delivery.
Tracking via Mobile for Real-Time Updates
- eBay App – Get push notifications when your order’s status changes.
- Carrier Apps – USPS, UPS, and FedEx apps offer advanced alerts and delivery scheduling.
- Buy&Ship App – Tracks your consolidated shipment from the warehouse to your Singapore address.

Final Tips for Hassle-Free Tracking

- Save your tracking number in case you need to file a claim.
- Use a forwarding service like Buy&Ship for sellers who don’t ship internationally.
- Monitor updates regularly so you can act quickly if there’s an issue.
