It might be a scam - or someone buying on a stolen card - or a genuine mistake - or an over-active automatic "fraudulent payment detector" at the credit card company, that has thrown out the transaction - or it might not.
Fortunately, you have tracking that should protect you in either case.
Logically, eBay should always carry the can in these circumstances. Because they handle the payment, and they are the only ones who can detect fraud or possible dodgy transactions. It really isn't something that should depend on tracking.
Absolutely agree.
