I got ripped off in the exact same way. I put in a complaint with the good folks at PayPal and they are still investigating it.
Here is what really blows me away. The vendor provided a tracking number to PayPal indicating that the package was delivered to my home. What is really scary is they had the exact time that my postman made the delivery. FORTUNATELY we have a ring camera and there is absolutely nothing anywhere near the size of a cooler in the postman's hands when he comes to our door. I'm heading to the post office now where I have a very friendly postmaster who I am hoping can take a look at the tracking info and maybe glean some useful information. I see that the company is running the same ad on Facebook, under a different name. Hopefully Facebook shuts them down.

Paypal is just a payment processor that gives you 'some' buyer and 'some' seller protection.
So disputes for non receipt of item are mostly automated. Seller provides tracking that shows delivery = seller wins.
So then its your turn to do some work to assist Paypal in recovering your purchase price from your seller.
Firstly ring customer services and tell them that the number is fake or that the item was shown as shipped before you purchased it. With that information they may well just issue you a refund.
Secondly if they don't then... APPEAL
To submit an appeal on the dispute that was closed, PayPal asks that you obtain a detailed report from the shipper/courier (on their letterhead or some other form of official stationary) that includes the address the seller gave them for the shipment. Or one that includes a statement mentioning your address and saying the item was delivered to a different address. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHICH ADDRESS IT WAS SENT TO, JUST THAT IT WAS NOT DELIVERED TO YOUR ADDRESS.
Check tracking in below link to see where it went.

When you have that, contact PayPal via phone (log on to your account and click contact at the bottom of the page, or via Facebook (send a Private Message to PayPal) or via Twitter (send a Direct Message to @AskPayPal) and say you want to appeal the denial of the dispute based on the shipper saying the item was delivered to a different address. Once it's submitted (you will be provided with directions on how to do that), the dispute will be reviewed further and a determination will be made.
You also have the option to contact your card issuer if you funded your paypal payment that way and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
