    Hey guys. How long does it take from the time you place an order with this seller to the time the tracking number actually becomes active (true proof that it has shipped)? I placed an order for BB7 Skywarp on Wednesday, received a tracking number on Thursday. Today is Saturday and the tracking number still isn't active.

    It's all good now. Tracking has updated. I hope to have it early next week.

    Maybe I'm paranoid, but I was JUST scammed by a different ebay user and now I'm highly sensitive.

    I bought an item from bababobo00712 on November 10th. I got an email the item "shipped" on November 11th. Now 4 days later, I check the tracking number but it has not become active. I have no evidence that the item has actually shipped. Grumble.

    I bought an item on nov 8 from this seller which just arrived today. This is the second item I've bought from him in a month. Both transactions were smooth and arrived quickly. I suggest you contact him as i and it seems others here have had positive experiences.

    Not to worry. I placed an order on Nov 9, received a tracking number on Nov 10, the tracking number just became active on USPS.com this morning Nov 15. By the time 7PM this evening rolled around, the status already updated from "Acceptance" to "Preparing Shipment" to "Processed Thru Sort Facilty" - meaning it is or has already left China.... all today. Same scenario when I placed an order with him last month. I've always received my items from him in a timely manner.

    Ah, I see. Good to know.

    And, I've purchased from bababobo00712 before. I usually get A+ treatment, and that's what I've come to expect from this seller. Anything less than that, and I get jitters.

    Follow-up: Although it happened 2 weeks after putting in the initial order, the shipping finally updated. I can track the package now.

    My recent order was placed with bababobo00712

    11/9 order placed
    11/10 tracking number assigned
    11/15 tracking number became active and tracking shows Acceptance. Dropped of at local PO in CHina
    11/15 Procecessed thru Facility in CHina. Departs China
    11/26 Processed thru Facility ISC New York, USA. Departs New York

    Expected Delivery Day 12/2. Nice to see this as USPS usually doesn't post the delivery day until 24hrs of delivery in my cases.

    As I imagined, largely due to the Chinese Singles Day online shopping craze and the Thanksgiving Holiday, an order that usually takes 2 weeks to arrive to me from China is now taking 3 weeks and 2 days. I knew bababobo00712 wasn't pulling a fast one. He's still legit.

    Is it me or does take unusually long for his tracking number to become active (accepted and processed through his local po)? It's like you place an order, you get an inactive tracking number within the next day then it takes almost a week for the tracking number to become active. I've always received my items but it's like he delays dropping orders off at the his local PO.

    I ordered Badcube's Grump-Slick pack from bababobo00712 on January 27th, he gave me a tracking number that IS NOT WORKING YET!
    He got bad reviews in ebay a few days ago but those reviews doesn't appear anymore!!!
    I'm very disappointed with this seller.

    If a tracking number from him doesn't work within 2-4 days of you receiving that number then send him a message about it.

    I ordered Grump + Slick set from him on 2/4 but it has been stuck in Miami customs since 2/12. So I can't blame him for that one.

    Has been 23 days since I ordered the pack, and STILL NOT HAVING an ACTIVE TRACKING NUMBER.
    I think he gave me a fake tracking number. I sent him a few messages and only replies that China Post is having delays.

    Has anyone bought from or sent messages to bababobo00712 recently? I sent him a message yesterday asking a question about an item I'd like to buy from but he hasn't responded yet. Usually he's good about responding to messages within 24 hrs so I'm not sure what's going on.

    So the tracking number didn't work until 5 days after you made the purchase? Was that the first update in the tracking log? If not was was the date of the first update?
