Purchased a game cartridge on eBay, can't track shipping!

I purchased the Atari 2600 game cartridge Kaboom! on eBay yesterday. A shipping label was very quickly created by the seller and I copied the tracking number into my shipping app called OneTracker and gave the title "Kaboom". Even though the USPS tracking number was correct the OneTracker app said it was an untrackable number!


I waited until the next day thinking maybe there was no tracking data yet and maybe that was the problem. Nope. I then opened the eBay app and was able to see that the cartridge was well into the USPS system.

I then had an idea. In the OneTracker app I changed the title of the package from "Kaboom" to "Kab-oom". Guess what - the tracking data instantly populated! I can only guess that the app has blacklisted words and naming a package that could go 'boom' is forbidden. So strange! Well, I look forward to trying to catch numerous b-ombs on my TV screen very soon, thank you very much OneTracker.
