A tracking number doesn't mean you won't get less than you agreed to. It just means he shipped a box.
You should insist on talking with someone else who did a long distance deal with him, if possible.
The last resort is to use an escrow service, or just have him make you a private eBay deal so you have protection through eBay. Sure you'll pay a couple bucks in fees, but make the sales price on eBay ficticiously low, so the fees are low. Then use paypal to transfer the fees and you will have buyer protection. I buy yours, then you buy mine. Net Zero $$$ transaction!
