you should be able to track it here: http://www.coliposte.net/gp/services/main.jsp?m=10003005
if that link doesn't work go to laposte.fr and then select "suivi de colissimo" on the first drop down menu on the left.

actually, I have sent things from Germany to US and they haven't arrived yet. I sent them off on 15th but what is a bit funny is that you are in NY and it hasn't reached you yet.
btw, what I sent reached US only on the 19th, and it is still not with the ebayer. so don't worry just yet, it can take up to 2 weeks in my experience.
oh, also, i don't know about french tracking but most methods I use to send abroad do not include tracking once it leaves the country. you could then try on USPS.

The French post is horribly slow! I buy all the time and have them to to Sweden and it can take up to 2 weeks. And I'm on the same continent! I wouldn't worry....
I guessing that the seller is saying that she'd checked on her end, and it says that the package is in transit to you. Meanwhile, if you have any news (ie. receive the package or something), pls let her know so that she can stop checking with the PO?
I always give 2 weeks for international shipping. I start worrying when I don't receive it after 3.5 weeks. Hopefully, your item reaches you soon. Maybe it's stuck at customs? How did the seller declare it?
I have a friend in France and can't believe how long posting items to her and receiving items from her takes - it is unbelievable! I wouldn't worry too much yet Heather based on my experience of how long it takes for things to make it across the Channel let alone the Atlantic!
