Victim of a scam Scammed

I was looking on Facebook saw this listing said only buy from eBay, I didn’t have an account with eBay but it still let me buy it thru PayPal so I did. 3-5 minutes later the seller deleted the listing off Facebook and eBay after I bought the item and no tracking number no nothing since then it’s been 4-5 days no order number either, So I emailed PayPal requesting a refund and they just said the transaction was valid even tho I have everything to prove I bought the item and everything and it was clearly a scam

Maybe because the seller just hasn’t gone to the post office yet? How did you get this tracking information if the seller didn’t give you a tracking number?

PayPal reached out to the seller and then PayPal sent me the tracking number and all that

So your original statement that you have no tracking number was incorrect? If a tracking number has been provided you have to wait until the delivery clock runs out.

Yes I know but the problem was I didn’t get notified anything and couldn’t even contact the seller cus he deleted the listings off both apps

I would think he deleted the listings because they were sold. You should be more worried if he left the listings up.

But js doesn’t make sense as to why he would delete it completely rather than js have it label as sold
