THEY LIED TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
i deal with tracking numbers/deliverey's weekly if not daily and i can tell you 100% that your tracking number should come up and you should be able to locate it.
i had my first seller send me false tracking info a couple of weeks ago,i asked him if the tracking number was correct or if he typed it in wrong.
he replies "that it is all correct and it should be there in a week"
a week passes still no tracking info or goods, so i ask again if it was right, this time he replies " sorry buddy, i did not send your items as i cannot take a loss like that, as i am sure you would know the items you won are worth alot more than that, hope you understand and i will refund your payment a.s.a.p"
yes negative feedback was left.
if you cannot track your item through the website they gave you, it means the tracking info is false!!!! and it is easy to do too, they just give you a tracking # from a month ago and you won't know the difference

Doesn't mean the same thing Spree. From time to time they simply don't work. The website is useless at the best of times and I've had the same thing happen and cards turn up. It sucks that sellers did what they did to you but thats not the rule.
Some sellers Twenty just don't know and assume that its a tracking number when its more like one off an express post one here. No tracking but it helps to find it should anything go wrong.

I too had an item send about 20th October via Global Priority. Ended up emailing the seller during the week, and then found the package arrived when I got home. Was surprised that it took just over 2 weeks for delivery, as it's supposed to be 2-5 days, whereas airmail can take that long. Remember USPS are worse than A.Post at times, but it doesn't hurt to contact the seller and try to get some info.
You can try trace items on the USPS website - usps.com
Sometimes the Global Priority packages are logged onto the USPS online tracking, but only on submission of the item. It is not logged on receipt or intransit. But this is not the norm for Global Priority. It is not supposed to be tracked.
Global priority should take only about 1 week to arrive, but the thing is, it is NOT Guaranteed, and it is only guaranteed to begin its trip that night out of US. It can still be delayed in customs (and it will depend on the amount of mail Customs has that it may slow it down). Then it is not Guaranteed to be shipped in an Express manner once it arrives in Australia, so within Australia, it can go along with standard mail so can take it own time.
Next step up is Global Express Mail. This is USPS's Express mail, and this is tracked online and should only take a few days to get here (barring Custom's delay).
Then the premium is Global Express Guaranteed or GXG (Guaranteed Delivery by a certain date). This usually arrives within 3 days. It can be tracked online. It is usually sent by FedEx and so you will get a drop off by FedEx not by Australia Post.
Then there is Registered mail, which will give you online tracking, but is slow to arrive. Gets sent with standard mail.
So if you want something fast and with tracking, get it sent Global Express Mail. This usually costs about $20 for a few cards (depends on how it is packaged). For high end stuff I would recommend GXG.
For most of my stuff, I request Global Express Mail.
Though, I did have one item sent by Global Express Mail that did arrive, but they did not log the Tracking number, so it did not end up being traced on its trip to me.
