Why would the scammers get the money before the item delivers?
If you are below a certain level of feedback, the money is held for a certain amount of time, but I'm not sure how long (30 days?). A scammer will drag the process out, wait a few days, then mark the item as shipped, hoping the waiting or dispute process will drag on until the money clears.
I once had a seller string me along for a couple of weeks (I'm out of the country, etc), clock ticking the whole time. When I clicked the "where's my item?" link on eBay, he immediately posted a fake shipping #. When I started the dispute process he threatened to not ship the item unless I cancelled the dispute.
Just noticed the listing is gone. Took less than 2 hours to clear it. The real listing pops up with others when you click the link.
