Get the seller to confirm the tracking number, and if it's still for 1st class, open paypal dispute since you paid for priority but got the cheaper 1st class.

Do confirm with the seller first though, coz as far as I know $14.99 for priority is damn cheap. I just bought a small/non-bulky item from US as well, and while 1st class cost me about $12, upgrading to priority would be an additional $20

P/S: My tracking number is LJxxxx, and when I track it there are some results that appear, e.g.

Wait for the seller's explanation I guess, and remember to let him know you know that the tracking number is for 1st class only, and not priority. Definitely either get a refund for excess paid + seller's guarantee for a replacement against damage/loss or open a dispute over in Paypal if seller refuses. It's possible that the seller made a mistake when posting.

Only the seller will know what the standard international shipping will be, but usually it's first class international la.

First class: Like our regular Registered Post. Tracking is until the parcel leaves the originating country only, sometimes also when parcel has been successfully delivered.
Priority: (I'm not 100% sure about this one ya) Like Registered Post for International Mail, so trackable all the way, but takes the same amount of time as First Class.

Probably not a con case la, as you paid through Paypal plus the seller has a pretty good ebay rating.

Email USPS to confirm. I highly doubt the tracking number is for Priority.

No, won't be the same number when it reaches Malaysia. Agak2 when the parcel should reach Malaysia d email Pos Malaysia at csc@pos.com.my and ask them which number is assigned to your tracking number, and if not assigned yet ask them to email you when they do.

you can also say that you're an american who bought something for a friend in Malaysia

Whoops, forgot about this thread. I got my parcel I think at least a week back, and that's USPS 1st Class only ya.

About the email from USPS, that's odd as my parcel could be tracked to an extent. The last time I checked I got results like what I've posted above, plus a few more updates.a
