This sort of scam would only work for sellers with zero/bad reputation. Only an idiot would buy from a seller like that.

If the overall positive feedback is greater than 99% and they've sold hundreds of items then there's no problem.

I've bought dozens of phones from eBay over the last two decades, never had any issues.
