Seller provided tracking that was sent 2 days before I even placed my order. I provided this info with paypal but they sided with the seller. The seller provided no comments or replies throughout this whole ordeal. What can I do?

Non receipt disputes are pretty much automated as paypal is mainly just a payment processor that gives some buyer and some seller protection.

So tracking supplied normally means seller wins.

So then its your turn to do some work to appeal that decision and try and get a refund from your scam China website or Social Media ad sale?

 

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.
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, however that may not be an option at the moment due to covid), 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.
