Has any one experienced scamming on Ebay

I saw a phone that I wanted on EBay(Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge). The seller was a "trusted EBay seller" with great feedback and about 900 sales. The price was cheap, and I messaged them to be sure that the phone was brand new and not refurbished. They said it was new, and that there was a two year guarantee. And they said it was a clearout of old stock. Well, the phone never turned up on the day it should have, so I looked at the listing again to be sure of the shipping times. That's when I saw all of the negative feedbacks rolling in! From the time I saw the listing with his good feedbacks until now,(within four days) it's up to 102 negatives for not shipping the items advertised! I have since found out from someone I work with that people can buy Ebay accounts and use them to scam people, which is what I think just happened to me.

Or more likely a hijacked Ebay account.

Have you filed an Ebay dispute for non receipt of item?
