Why are more and more sellers not including tracking numbers on the order page?
6 months ago nearly all had tracking numbers and lately maybe 25% at most have
the numbers

Lots of new sellers. I had no idea about the practice until I saw somebody make
a post about it and messaged them. It would be wonderful to have it integrated,
but the staff definitely has bigger fish to fry.

If you paid with PayPal, the tracking number is available in PayPal with your
transaction detail.

Same. I sold for years before I knew that page even existed, but I include it
now.
If BL can communicate with paypal to collect and remit sales tax, they could
have easily (and should have) piggy-backed off of that project to include dynamically
linking the tracking when a label is created in paypal.

Another point to consider is have you requested tracking with all of your Orders?
Not all shipping methods include tracking, and tracking usually costs more.

tracking.

That's nice, but there is far more to this world than just the US.

True, but the OP is from Florida so it's probably safe to assume that the
the vast majority of their orders are sourced domestically.
