If you paid using goods/services you can open a dispute via the resolution centre in your paypal account.
If you used the friends/family option then you sent a gift of money and so have no buyer protection.
However IF you funded that payment via a credit card then your card issuer may help you, however they may well refuse for the same reason ie that it was a gift payment and not a payment for goods or services.
If you used f/f and did not use a card then you are reliant on the other party refunding you.

Obviously Pay Pal need to put up a notice to Scammers saying…”
Dear Scammers, please don’t use Friends and Family because the person you just scammed can’t get their hard earned money back!”
Im sure that will work!!!😡😡😡😡😡

If you haven't already figured out that friends/family payments are for sending gifts to friends and family.... !!! then Paypal gives you a warning, all you have to do is read the warning before you pay which states '' BUYER PROTECTION DOES NOT APPLY FOR THIS PAYMENT''.
Then you won't be scammed, easy really.

Hey that PS5 scam is still alive and well. I was scammed as well. Same way as you, no tracking number. They tried to get me to send even more money for shipping insurance but I refused telling them if there was more money needed I would send once that unit was in my possession! They've blocked our messages on facebook and also their email address on paypal. Lesson learned! If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!
I'm sorry that this has happened to you also.

If you funded your friends/family payment via a credit card with paypal then reach out to them and see if they will chargeback for you?
