Deliberately unusual shipping? | Payments and Shipping

Good morning everyone, I made this purchase more than a week ago. Before proceeding, I check the shipping times: 3-5 days to ship, seller in a nearby region, delivery between Friday and Tuesday (yesterday). I proceed and the weirdness begins... 1) Friday arrives and the package still hasn’t been shipped, strange, first time this has happened to me. I contact the seller, after all it’s a gift for my son’s 18th birthday. He replies, don’t worry, shipments leave within 3/5 days of purchase.2) I contact again on Monday, the item still hasn’t been shipped and it’s the fifth working day. The reply: don’t worry, we’re still within the time frame, it will be shipped today...3) Tuesday, that is yesterday, around 6 p.m., package shipped, no tracking code, courier GLS, strange, usually if you book a pickup you have the code even before the pickup. I contact again asking for the code and I’m told it will be available in the evening, the time needed to upload the said code into the system.4) today, 1 day late, still no tracking code present. Now I have two huge doubts: either it smells like a scam or the seller is deliberately and systematically (given that in the neutral comments many have found themselves in the same situation) pushing deliveries beyond the deadline in such a skillful way that it seems random... why? Does he not have the item? Probably a scam?I’ve been buying on eBay for years and this has never happened. Needless to say, tonight I’ll send another message and start reporting it to eBay and on PayPal if I don’t get any feedback, and I’m much more curious about why of a behavior like this that seems systematic as well as insulting to the buyer
