Could I track the status of small packet surface mail online (Paypal)?

The tracking number from Canada Post was added to the transaction but that tracking number is nowhere on the shipping label but when I go on Canada Posts website, the tracking number is shown as "Order information received" & shows the "Accepted" in one of the location in my city & "Delivered" to the buyers state, though they're greyed out meaning nothing has happened yet. So my question is what's the use of a tracking number since my shipping label has no bar code or anything to start the tracking? Would I get a receipt at least to show the buyer? This was shipping by the service, USA surface small packets.

I looked at Canada Post website and tracking is NOT available for the product service you are speaking of USA small packets. Unless a label has a bar code it cannot be scanned, therefore not track able.  I believe you are referring to the label print number which is your receipt for printing label. Please review Canada Post website for items that can be tracked.

Tracking numbers through Paypal for small packets to the States are bogus.

I informed all 3 parties of this in 2010 and they did nothing about it.

At least Paypal responded and said they would look into it.

(Perhaps they need to see an eye care specialist?)
