I'm afraid that you have been tricked into shipping without getting paid because PayPal doesn't hide payments from you requiring you to ship first. If someone REALLY paid, funds should appear in your PayPal account fairly instantly. Even if PayPal puts a hold on your payment, you should still see a record of payment received. Also, PayPal Money requests and Invoices that are marked "Pending" are unpaid.
You should always check to see if the funds are in your account first before shipping. Scammers can spoof PayPal payment emails. "PayPal approved the transaction" is text that scammers use to trick inexperienced sellers and is not how PayPal works.
Providing tracking is optional (through the PayPal transaction details) but is required if buyer filed a case of Item Not Received against you, to be covered under PayPal Seller Protection. If your postal service has a package recall service, I recommend you try to recall the parcel before it gets delivered. Otherwise, there is not much PayPal can do since no payment took place. Buyer may not even have PayPal account.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Yep scam, but i doubt there are any funds showing pending IN your paypal account balance are there?
Sadly nothing paypal can do about it as you were never paid in the first instance.
