We only record the number, so unless you have that you can't check.

Ebay say:

Is tracking information available for postage labels printed through eBay?

If you're posting with a service that offers tracking, both you and your buyer can monitor the status of the package. For Royal Mail services, the tracking number is provided on a further label which will be added to your parcel at the Post Office by staff. You'll be given a record of the tracking number and you can enter it for your buyer in My eBay.

See above

No it needs a tracking number to get signed, the postie won't even notice that you've paid more than the usual price as we don't have time to check it, in fact we have no responsibility to do so.

No, sorry

With 58,000,000 single items sent daily (on average) its not a long shot its a near impossiblity.

On private ebay sales its the PO that provide the bar code, only bulk sellers or (OBAs) get bar codes provided by RM

No.

Only the post code, but thats taken when they give you the tracking number.
