purchase a new phone and tracking number doesn't work, contacted seller who even though gave tracking details with number that doesn't exist said he is posting next day. 3 days and still no working tracking, upon reading feedback he's sold Same phone over and over. why do you have to wait for refund when clearly a scam. also why don't scammers get barred ?

eBay work on cases, if enough cases are opened for the same reason it will raise a red flag to eBay, and they act with selling sanctions, or even a complete ban.

In your case wait a reasonable time after the item's last estimated date for delivery as those dates are just estimates, if it doesn't arrive open that case for item not received.
