So, as teh story unfolds, my fears of east west back and forward have been confimed. The package was indded delivered to Erlanger Ky, but that was only the first part of te htrip.. there ii was transferred to an otehr transport company (unknown),

-------------------------------- LOL So basically it is still in the US, Erlanger KY, and now travelling east (I hope) or west (I hope not). towards Europe, probably flown via NY anyways? More fun later,.
For those who wonder who does all this, this is the new ebay international shipping program, where you pay upfront for customs.
1) they did not give confirmation of shipping (had to ask for it). 2) they did not give a tracking number (had to ask for it twice). 3) they take the longest way. 4) they do not say WHO is the carrier.Anyways, so far that makes about 2000 extra km (assuming they now go east, else add 37,000).
On my pp account it says: "payment to various parties", hope I can prove it was not to Al Capone.
I have some suggestions to ebay... ;-)
