I purchased a phone using "buy it now" and have not heard from the seller. Was I scammed?

I purchased a phone using the "buy it now" option and have not heard from the seller in regards to my purchase. I have tried getting in contact with the seller (I've sent an e-mail asking if the item has been shipped, and if so if they could send a tracking #), but have heard no response. The account which I purchased from seems to have only 1 other review and I suspect I may have been scammed. It's been 5 days since purchase and no response has been given, no tracking number, nothing. Should I continue to wait or file a complaint through ebay?

Padi,

 

Did you try to open a Dispute through the Ebay Resolution Centre > Paypal  where the 'wait for 10 days' message usually appears or

 

did you log on to Paypal directly where you can usually open a case immediately.

Hi ss, I only tried by clicking on "resolve a problem" perhaps by going into PayPal itself I'd be able to open a dispute before that 10 day period.

 

Yep, just tried going into PayPal direct for a transaction on 18th August and it looked as though it was going to go through o.k.

 

Hmmmm, the plot thickens so to speak............................
