Actually it is very, very easy to come up with a fake tracking number - all you have to do is ship a small envelope that will cost you about $.30 and use that for when paypal tries to help the buyer find out what the hell happened to their item - and off topic but on topic - I HAVE 8 RABBITS, PIGS, ROOSTERS, ETC. ON A STRING FOR SALE - a friendly reminder that if you see a tracking number from some China based sellers - watch out or you could be offering the same sale.

It's nearly impossible to come up with a "fake" tracking number.

 

Was the item from the US? First Class comes with a transaction number, NOT a tracking number. That would show proof of delivery, and not tracking information.

 

If the item was coming from anywhere internationally, if it's just sent as a registered parcel, the tracking number usually dosen't start working until it has entered Canada.
