Sellers that use tracking have, ah, risk assessment issues if we're being kind about it.The advantages are psychological and the risks catastrophic. Stay in escrow, be patient and this is just unnecessary.That is my view and it will remain my view until tracking parcels doesn't somehow wind up as records in a government database in which every access request is IP logged and compared with a list of addresses that are suspect, which will certainly include Tor exit nodes, so unless you're using a 3rd party website to submit tracking requests...I honestly don't even understand why people question that this happens. I'd only be surprised if it didn't happen. It's the same system they would be using to find bombs in parcels/anti terror procedures. I mean come on, imagining this is paranoid is like thinking the government doesn't monitor allah-akbar.com for possible terrorist threads. I suspect a lot of Australia bound packages have been surveillanced, possibly intercepted in this way.
