That is an expensive lesson.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a tracking number. And items over 250 dollars have SIGNATURE confirmation on it.

Yes without a tracking number you're going nowhere.

It will be very difficult to get your money back, as not to say impossible. I had a similiar case last year. Somebody bought Diablo 3 from me on eBay. He paid, I sent the key, he left positive feedback. Ok. 2 days later, an email from paypal. Telling me, the amount of this transaction has been disputed because it has been an unauthorized payment.
Some email and phone calls later, still no result. After about 4 weeks, they told me, the case has been closed. He got back his money. I asked for my money, they said, they do not cover virtual items. So if there is no protection when SELLING virtual items, why did he get back his money when BUYING them?
Answer: He normally would NOT have gotten his money back for a "normal" dispute. It is only because his account has been hacked.
So, if you send out goods without a tracking number, it is quite the same as sending virtual items and you will not be protected.....

Stories like these make me not want to use ebay/paypal man. I just made a sale for $255 two days ago. The item I sold couldnt be sold through USPS so I went to FedEx. This person lives in some westbubblefuck hick town that shipping was $57 (it was a small box item). The guy at the FedEx didnt even want me to pay it lol, he told me to just go back and tell the person I cant ship to them and relist it. I didnt want to go through hastle and just paid the shipping so instead of making $255 I lost $7 on paypal fees and $57 on shipping fees smfh

If you ship anything worth over 250 dollars, and you don't have tracking, you kind of asked for this to happen. Paypal recommends adding a tracking number for all tangible goods. Did it occur to you that the guy didn't receive it, or that you didn't send it? No offense, but an adult should know better... what's delivery confirmation.... 1.82? The only way you could have shipped without tracking is to throw stamps on it....
did you not put the tracking, on the paypal transaction ? if you can remember any info from the shipment details, name, address anything, call the shipping company they may be able to find the records of it, i have had to do it a few times. its not a 100 percent shot they can but sometime they have some luck...
