the seller wants bank payment and no longer responds to my messages | Questions and answers among users

I won an auction where it said he absolutely wanted a bank transfer (I thought that was also covered by eBay protection, I’m new here), but I don’t trust him. There are too many things that make me suspicious; all the positive reviews are for items that cost little/very little, he didn’t put real photos of the item for the auction, and he seemed a bit weird in chat replies. Now he has posted other listings with the same item and he doesn’t reply to my messages. For these reasons I think it’s pointless to pay with PayPal since I know nothing would arrive anyway. He won’t even cancel the purchase. But if I don’t pay once the 4 days to pay have expired, what happens? Does the purchase simply get cancelled and I get a negative feedback on my account? Or does something more "serious" happen? The thing is that he doesn’t reply to my messages anymore; otherwise we could have solved it. But I strongly doubt the seller, in fact I find it absurd that he can keep listing the same item while requiring bank transfer, and eBay does nothing?
