direct checkout : tracking number not showing up as a link, and: items not marked sold

[Former_Member]

Hi,
I've noticed now that I can accept Direct Checkout, items don't automatically show up as SOLD.
and I bought a tracking number for a sold item, and the number shows up, but not as a link like before. How do I know the customer received the number, and where do I go to track the package. So much easier when it shows up as a link. Am I wasting my money buying tracking numbers?

also, it seems to take forever for funds to show up now. :/
Etsy emailed me yesterday, saying funds would be transferred to my acct yesterday, and it's still not there. The payment was done on SUNDAY, it's now THURSDAY. :/

thank you for any help, my anxiety has flared up now lol

Funds issue taken care of, though I think paypal is quicker with banks.

Still having sold items not show up with the little sold banner like before.
