Getting payments

I sent out 2 different products in one day to 2 different people and am still waiting on the payments to come. I shared the tracking information to paypal through email as instructed and am a little confused why I do not see a pending payment or anything. Please help explain why or did I get scammed by 2 different people? Is it possible they canceled the payments after I sent the tracking information and if so what do I do since the products have been sent already?

Was it the below scam???

 

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a direct Paypal payment and may ask you to send the item internationally.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails may go into your junk/spam folders.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
