As @mbarrett635 shared I would have a little more patience, with him being out of the country he's probably experiencing inevitable delays getting anything done. You have up to 6 months for a PayPal claim and the absence of a tracking number proves you did not receive it. If you are too worried then initiate a dispute to get the refund process started.
He has a fairly extensive posting history here and reading some of that might alleviate or increase some anxiety once you get a feel of who he is.
Good luck!
