If it was through USPS then yes they definitely provide a delivery confirmation number (though not a tracking number). The delivery confirmation number usually only updates when you get the item or it arrives at its final destination, usually it is not scanned in before that. Delivery confirmation is fairly worthless to the buyer (it mainly exists for the seller to actually see that his or her package got delivered at the final destination/PO).
Most of the time if a package is lost in the mail you are going to be shit out of luck if you didn't purchase mailing insurance. Most sellers on higher priced items will purchase insurance no matter what even if the buyers do not; this is to cover themselves in case the item is lost in transit. Insurance imo exists primarily for the seller of the item, not the buyer. If the seller cannot afford to absorb the hit from a lost package they need not be selling items on eBay.
Best thing you can do is give it a bit more time, just make sure to not go over the limit (30 days? Or is it 45 now?) to file in your complaint with PP. If she has at least 50 feedback and 98% positive feedback you will be eligible to get a full refund if they side with you. Remain civil at all times… you don’t want to go out with guns blazing so to speak (unless you don’t care about your feedback).
