Did you receive actual china post tracking updates when buying a very cheap nanoVNA?

 

At least one ebay seller is giving a china post tracking number but there is never an actual tracking update from china post so probably no product being shipped.
Has one of you been able to buy for 16$ or 20$ and actually been receiving china post tracking updates that prove your product has been shipped?
If so, which seller?
 

I sent a message to the vendor yesterday -
If I don't get a response by Friday, I will start an investigation with eBay.
Several vendor feedback entries saying no response as well.

There is yet another vendor with only 30 'sales' - all private - selling the nanoVNA for $17

I don¡¯t trust eBays interface to couriers. When I look on eBay, it
indicates that the label has been created. However, when I go to the
Chinapost website, my tracking number is not recognised.

I am pretty confident the sub $30 NanoVNAs is a scam, but I am not too
fussed about it now.

According to

well as payments made through our website. To take advantage of Buyer

so it seems we have 180 days to raise a dispute with PayPay.
