You can get your money back. Just go at the "Resolution Center" (there's a link at the bottom of this page), and open an Item Not Received dispute and change it immediately as a claim with the reason that the seller is no longer registered with eBay.

 

If it doesn't work - because it's probably too early on eBay - you can also go to PayPal and open a dispute there.

 

You can also wait a few weeks, just to see if the item does show up. If it does not, you can open a dispute. You have 180 days for that with PayPal (from time of payment). And 30 days after last expected delivery date with eBay.
