Are sellers required to email buyers after the item is paid for?

[viejachula1]

i have bought over 100 items, not much, to some people. I always try to find a way to leave positive feedback unless the service is really bad. My question is whether sellers are required to send tracking info after I paid for the item, so I can be home when it arrives; especially since the package is large and shows that is in the box? I have emailed the seller twice to request the tracking info, but have no reply as of yet. The item is to be delivered between 8/3-8/10, and I can't stay home every day to wait for it! What options do I have, and what action do you suggest I do next?  The item was $259.99 so not chump change to me...

Thanks for any ideas.
