One of the main things I look at on Ebay is feedback score and how many things they've sold. How many did this guy have? I've been purchasing off Ebay for over ten years and only had a few issues when I was the seller. Some buyers like to back out and it's a pain in the rear. Sad thing is, this only happened to me while trying to sell depth finders I had.
I am going through the same thing. Saw an unbelievable deal on an Elite 5 TI. Seller had feedback but nothing recent.

I suspected that it was a scam but bought it anyway. Estimated delivery came and went, no shipment, no tracking. Seller was removed from ebay, going through the process of getting a refund now. I'm confident that I'll get it, still annoying.

I'm guessing that scammers have been getting access to old inactive accounts.
