I went in today to add the tracking number for my media mail package, and ebay said, that it is not a valid tracking number. TI tried to enter it again, and it gave me the same message ...

This actually happened a few weeks before as well. Something is kind of screwy with ebay when for some odd reason, totally legit tracking numbers are considered invalid.

I've had that happen as well, if I added insurance to a Media Mail package. I just enter the number and ignore Ebay. If the buyer has any doubt, they can copy/paste the tracking # and enter it at USPS.com

Quite true, I've ended up doing that myself.
