Why are you wasting time with the seller? The seller, not the buyer, decides whether or not to purchase insurance and tracking. The seller is responsible for getting the item to the buyer's address in a timely manner, with proof of delivery to the address. No more discussusions with buyer as you are apparently, not familiar with protections and procedures by PayPal. The seller is taking advantage of your lack of knowledge about PayPal polcies. Assuming you paid by goods/services, you have PayPal buyer protection. Just file a dispute for item not received and then escalate to a claim as soon as possible. No more contact with buyer. At the appropriate time PayPal will refund for non-delivery and take the money from the seller. On the other hand, if you paid by friends/family, well, then will have learned an expensive lesson as the money was a gift with no expectation of goods.
